A recent release from The White House stating the importance of Information Literacy (IL)skills got a lot of people talking at the end of last week as October was declared National Information Literacy Awareness Month in the United States.
In it therelease states:
"Every day, we are inundated with vast amounts of information. A 24-hour news cycle and thousands of global television and radio networks, coupled with an immense array of online resources, have challenged our long-held perceptions of information management. Rather than merely possessing data, we must also learn the skills necessary to acquire, collate, and evaluate information for any situation."
