Informationliteracy comprises "the set
of skills needed to find, retrieve, analyze, and use
information. Information literacy is more closely tied to
course-integrated instruction but it extends far beyond
coordination between the reference librarian and the individual
faculty member. Even a cursory review of the
Information Literacy Competency Standards
will show that there is much more to information literacy
competence than library-related research. Students must
demonstrate competencies in formulating research questions and
in their ability to use information as well as an understanding
of ethical and legal issues surrounding information. This
requires a campus culture of collaboration and focus on student
learning."
