21st Century Information Fluency• Information Literacy can be defined as “the ability
to locate, evaluate and use information” • 21st Century Information Fluency is a sub-set of
Information Literacy that is the combination of aspects of Information Literacy and Technology Literacy that people need to locate, evaluate and use digital information resources - efficiently, effectively and ethically
• We call it “fluency” rather than “literacy” to emphasize that the abilities involved are more than basic abilities
