ABOUT US

The American Library Association defines information literacy as a set of skills requiring individuals to "recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information."  Information literacy, according to the ALA is considered a “survival skill in the Information Age."

Helping students develop information literacy skills is a vital part of helping students becoming productive, independent learners who will ultimately be in charge of their own learning.  School library media specialists are valuable because they help students develop these skills.
