Information Literacy and the Library
What is information literacy?
Information literacy is the ability to identify, locate, use and
interpret information effectively. Information literate students
demonstrate critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
The University of Chicago Library promotes information
literacy and life-long learning in the following ways:
- By helping students, faculty, and staff at the University
become familiar with the Library and its resources.
- By developing instructional resources for students, faculty,
and staff of the University.
- By encouraging a partnership between the Library and faculty in
curriculum development.
- By promoting vital critical thinking skills that can be applied
in the academic environment and in the larger world.
