Definition(s)

  • Information literacy is today's ‘4th R’ of basic literacy, complementing the “readin”, “ritin”, and “rithmetic” of the early days of American education with ‘retrieval’—it is a survival skill for the Age of Information. The ability to access, manage, and utilize information to make decisions and solve problems is a necessary competence for effective participation in the 21st century.
