What is information literacy?



Having read through the many definitions for information literacy, I keep returning to the definition provided by Abilock, (2004, p. 1) having a preference for the “wider view” approach taken. I agree that information literacy is a process which is transformational and ongoing. As a TL there is a responsibility to ensure students are equipped with the experiences, abilities and knowledge to embark on the journey of lifelong learning with confidence. With the rapid changes in technology, the importance of learning how to learn is crucial.
