What is Information Literacy?

Information Literacy is the ability to identify what information is needed,understand how the information is organized, identify the best sources ofinformation for a given need, locate those sources, evaluate the sourcescritically, and share that information. It is the knowledge of commonly usedresearch techniques.

We use information literacy skills every day, whether we are makingdecisions at work, deciding where to go on vacation or what to eat fordinner. Students use information literacy skills when they work on aproject or a report.

The Northshore School District uses the Big 6 method of teaching Information Literacy Skills.
