Reading this lesson and completing the accompanying exercise is the first step towards increasing your information literacy skills. Learning to understand, access and evaluate information has become increasingly important as we enter the Information Age. Information literacy skills will help us gather and use information in all areas of our lives, including our careers, our health, and our personal interests and pursuits. By understanding some of the concepts behind why information is created and how it is used and by becoming familiar with the different types of resources available you can, with practice, become skilled information seekers. Librarians are also here to help you identify resources that will fill those needs and provide assistance in effectively and efficiently utilizing the resources that will provide the answers.
Remember, knowledge is power. With the right skills, all the information you need is at your fingertips.
