Information Literacy

“Information literacy is the ability to think critically and make balanced judgements about any information we find and use. It empowers us as citizens to develop informed views and to engage fully with society.”

This definition is one shared between CILIP in Scotland and CILIP UK wide.

CILIP’s Information Literacy Group released CILIP Definition of Information Literacy 2018 at the LILAC Conference and reinforces the relevance of information literacy in the current age.
