Gibson Library's Three Year Plan Information literacy is a set of abilities requiring individuals to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information. (ACRL, 2000) When we find a particular piece of information, whether on the Web or on a bookshelf, we need the skills to ascertain its veracity, reliability, bias, timeliness, and context. (Carvin, 2000) Students develop the kinds of skills referred to in these quotations over time, and the most successful way to cultivate information literacy among them is to integrate essential concepts into the academic curriculum, where the necessary skills can be learned in context. Although most students are very comfortable users of the Internet, they may find the prospect of navigating their way through the Library's scholarly resources to be daunting and intimidating. In fact, many of them may be inclined to turn to Google when confronted with the task of locating information to complete an assignment, thereby inadvertently eliminating the most important resources. For many years, Brock's subject specialists have offered course-specific seminars to teach students how to use the Library and its resources. These seminars meet an important need, particularly if they are linked to assignments. However, both librarians and faculty have noted that many students have difficulty transferring the information presented in these seminars to other situations or assignments. There is little doubt that students are most likely to understand information literacy concepts when they are well- integrated into the academic curriculum.

International Literacy Explorer - TOSTAN - Background A project which goes beyond literacy to give learners the means to solve problems, improve their families' health, and start smallscale projects. Overview of the programme, and description of activities and results. http://www.literacyonline.org/explorer/tost_back.html

Participatory Nonformal Education The TOSTAN Basic Education Program, Senegal Background Project Overview Activities Outcomes and Implications Resources ... Questions The Issue in Brief Basic education programs in many underdeveloped countries throughout the world fall short in attaining their goals. Recognizing the need to teach basic skills, such as reading, writing, and math, governments have spent considerable sums of money on formal literacy programs often with disappointing results. What has proven successful are comprehensive nonformal education programs where learners participate in the creation of the educational program and link the lessons to their everyday life situations. back to top The Context in Senegal Senegal is one of the world's least developed countries. Although Senegal enjoys a somewhat stable political atmosphere, its economic growth is relatively stagnant and almost negated by its high population growth (doubling every 25 years). Low literacy rates and limited access to health care are major contributors to Senegal's lack of development. Three out of four people have not been taught to read and write. Senegal's child mortality has been relatively high, with 97 deaths per 1,000 among children ages five and under in 1995. Many of the non-literate people in Senegal are women. A 1995 estimate reported the total population's literacy rate was at 33.1% with 43% of the men and only 23.2% of the women age 15 and over able to read and write. While literacy has long been recognized not only as a means of a personal and cultural sense of pride but also as the key to attaining economic growth, it is not always the first preoccupation of villagers whose children die from dehydration and malnutrition at an alarming rate. Senegalese village women need access to water and food first. Although important, the opportunity to learn to read and write is their second priority.

111. Information Literacy: An Overview information literacy, then, should for most in higher education simply be a Active literacy, on the other hand, is an integral part of everyday life. http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~dialogue/issue6.html

The Role of the Library in Information Literacy The Role of the University in information Literacy Outcomes Assessment and Accreditation Future of Information Literacy For WWU ... Appendix A Information Literacy: An Overview Robin Angeley and Jeff Purdue The American Library Association (ALA) describes information literate people as: "Â (t)hose who have learned how to learn. They know how to learn because they know how knowledge is organized, how to find information and how to use information so that others can learn from them. They are people prepared for lifelong learning because they can always find the information needed for any task or decision at hand." Yet despite ALA's fine definition, there remains some confusion about what information literacy means. Part of the confusion is the word "literacy" itself, which at its most basic level is the ability to read and write. Yet literacy has seldom been restricted to that simple definition. Rather it has been frequently used to describe something more: the idea that people need to interpret what they read, to place it in a specific cultural context. In contemporary adult literacy education, this context has been understood primarily in economic terms; literacy is often seen as an entry-level skill for participation in the economy. And while such training is certainly a laudable goal, it has never been the sole purpose of a university education, or of education in general. In his article "Nominal and Active Literacy", Michael Holzman presents a useful model for understanding the range of activities understood as literate by various people.
