"Information literacy is promoted through assignments that have the feel of immediacy and relevance to real life. "Research projects that improve information literacy skills allow for dynamic exploration of many sources and types of information, both print and non-print. They set students free to solve problems by locating, accessing, and analyzing information to create a unique product". " [|link]

//Don't think information literacy is important to the subject you teach? Try doing a search in Google- type in "information literacy" (in quotes), then the subject you teach. Better yet, try: "information literacy" subject K12.// //example: "information literacy" music k12//
