Background
----------
A vast amount of models and
terminology has been developed globally by libraries and other organizations and
associations to define the skills that must someone have in order to be
information literate. In the era of information plethora and digital
technology, the information literacy skills are becoming more and more
necessary.
Universities worldwide and
especially academic libraries have early realized the importance of information
literacy and they started to provide tools and programs to their students.
These tools and programs were aiming to help students to recognize when
information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate and use
effectively the information needed. Besides, this is the definition of
information literacy according to ALA.
Nowadays, information comes
in many formats and forms and its validity and its quality is not always guaranteed.
Students must develop new cognitive skills in order to use this information
succinctly and efficiently. Additionally, the specialization in disciplines
made prerequisite the information literacy to interfere with the curriculum.
In these lines of thoughts,
many universities and institutions around the world are starting to endorse
information literacy into the curriculum.
