Description: Information literacy is more than mastering basic library skills. The goal of information literacy is to help students develop information and technology competencies to foster lifelong learning. Information literate students are able to find, evaluate and use information effectively to solve problems, make decisions, and become more informed members of society.

Subjects: Information Literacy Skills
Objective: To provide a comprehensive instructional program that empowers students, faculty and staff to obtain information literacy skills needed to become self-sufficient in finding, selecting, evaluating and using information. The primary goal of the information literacy program is to establish a comprehensive, integrated and systematic program for students that is predicated on a progression through skill sets in order to graduate students with information literacy competencies. This assumes a general progression in knowledge and critical thinking abilities over time, as well as a gradual integration of information literacy skills into existing required courses in foundational, upper-division, and graduate level courses.
