Being “information literate” means that you are able to locate a variety of information resources for your assignment efficiently and effectively and able to evaluate and use these resources effectively. Information literacy is not learned in a single library session. It is the product of many research assignments and library instruction sessions throughout your university career.
Mastering information literacy competencies can help you in a couple of practical ways:
To find books (including e-books), search our library catalog.
To find journals, search our journals list.
To find journal articles, search our article databases.
To find online reference information, search our reference databases.
