- ERIC digest –
“Students today face a daily explosion of information resources and the challenge of using these resources
effectively and responsibly. Information
literacy instruction (ILI) requires a
shift in focus from teaching specific information resources to a set of critical thinking skills
involving the use of information. ILI
in an academic setting includes a variety of instructional approaches,
such as course-related library instruction sessions, course-integrated
projects, online tutorials, and stand-alone courses" (Kasowitz-Scheer,
ED465375).
