Information Literacy

Information literacy is the ability to know when there is a need for information, to be able to identify, locate, evaluate, and effectively use that information for the issue or problem at hand.
It became very important because we are surrounded by tons of information in all formats. Not all information is created equally. Some is biased, out of date, misleading and false. So, people might need critical thinking skills to determine whether the information found is accurate, reliable, and valid.
