Excerpt from Reaccreditation Standard 11:

"....Several

skills,

collectively

referred

to

as

"information

literacy,"

apply

to

all

disciplines

in

an

institution's

curricula.

These

skills

relate

to

a

student's

competency

in

acquiring

and

processing

information

in

the

search

for

understanding,

whether

that

information

is

sought

in

or

through

the

facilities

of

a

library,

through

practica,

as

a

result

of

field

experiments,

by

communication

with

experts

in

professional

communities,

or

by

other

means.

Therefore,

information

literacy

is

an

essential

component

of

any

educational

program

at

the

graduate

or

undergraduate

levels.

These

skills

include

the

ability

to:

determine

the

nature

and

extent

of

needed

information;


access

information

effectively

and

efficiently


evaluate

critically

the

sources

and

content

of

information


incorporate

selected

information

in

the

learner's

knowledge

base

and

value

system;


use

information

effectively

to

accomplish

a

specific

purpose;


understand

the

economic,

legal

and

social

issues

surrounding

the

use

of

information

and

information

technology;

and


observe

laws,

regulations,

and

institutional

policies

related

to

the

access

and

use

of

information.

Closely

tied

to

information

literacy

is

the

need

for

technological

competency

at

all

levels

within

an

institution

and

its

curricula.

....

institutions

should

provide

both

students

and

instructors

with

the

knowledge,

skills,and

tools

needed

to

use

the

information,

new

technology,

and

media

for

their

studies,

teaching,

or

research.
