Give us your definition of information literacy:

Brainstorm all the information literacy strategies you read about and/or know about as a group:

Information literacy is an approach to the organization and retrieval of the large amounts of information that we encounter everyday. This includes a conscious recognition of the value of this type of approach to information and the development and acquisition of skills necessary to access, gather, and analyze information to incorporate it into prior knowledge to make effective decisions.

Information literacy strategies:


 * overt instruction in a class setting
 * using search terms effectively in a catalog/database
 * analyzing found resources for credibility, accuracy, etc
 * using the Internet effectively, like Google and Youtube to find relevant and accurate information
 * peer-led learning
 * changing the perception of the value of information literacy: requiring info literacy courses or having them as electives for university students
