Other titles on literacy from UNBISnet For more information point at book covers with your mouse International Literacy Day 8 September 2003 Literacy is a cause for celebration since humankind has achieved spectacular progress in this respect and there are now close to four billion literate people in the world. However, literacy for all – children, youth and adults - is still an unaccomplished goal and an ever moving target. A combination of ambitious goals, insufficient and parallel efforts, inadequate resources and strategies, and continued underestimation of the magnitude and complexity of the task, is likely to account for this situation. Lessons learnt over recent decades show, in any case, that meeting the goal of universal literacy calls not only for more and more effective efforts but also for renewed political will and for doing things differently at all levels: locally, nationally and internationally. In its resolution A/RES/56/116 , the General Assembly proclaimed the ten year period beginning 1 January 2003 the United Nations Literacy Decade.

INFORMATION LITERACY MODULE OF CORE 101 Welcome to the "Information Literacy Web Pages." This set of electronic resources is a component of the course CORE 101. In common with the other segments of this class, the information literacy module will focus on approaches and techniques that facilitate effective learning. The material covered in this part of the course expands and replaces the "Library Instruction" component of the old Freshman Seminar. The new module represents an effort to assist students to develop the skills necessary to take advantage not just of library materials, but also of a vast and global assortment of information sources, tools, and processes. With those competencies they will be able to retrive and use information effectively in a wide variety of formats and locations. What is information literacy? Information literacy is an expression that describes the range of skills required for effective handling of information. Those include the ability to locate, evaluate, manage and use information from a range of sources for problem solving, decision making and research. As our society changes, moving from an industrial age to post-industrial or information age, so do the needs related to information. At the present time most jobs, careers, and business activities require the ability to retrieve, manage and apply vast amounts of information. This is more than the capability to handle a computer. The information literacy required by today's job market place involves the capacity to retrieve in a timely manner the best possible information for use in a vast array of situations.

Members Meetings International Alliance 2003 International Conference ... About the Forum Forum Overview The National Forum on Information Literacy was created in 1990 as a response to the recommendations of the American Library Association's Presidential Committee on Information Literacy. These education, library, and business leaders stated that no other change in American society has offered greater challenges than the emergence of the Information Age. Information is expanding at an unprecedented rate, and enormously rapid strides are being made in technology for storing, organizing, and accessing the ever-growing tidal wave of information. The combined effect of these factors is an increasingly fragmented information base, a large component of which are available only to people with money and/or acceptable institutional affiliations. In the recent past, the outcome of these challenges has been characterized as the "digital divide." Information Literacy is defined as the ability to know when there is a need for information, to be able to identify, locate, evaluate, and effectively use that information for the issue or problem at hand.
