, Information Literacy
Information literacy refers to a cluster of skills encompassing information research and use. It is defined as knowing when there is
a need for information coupled with the ability to identify, locate, evaluate and effectively use that information in relation to the issue
or problem at hand (http://www.infolit.org/). Being able to find and use appropriate information is a skill required for decision making
whether in academic work, career management or the home. Information literacy has become increasingly important in today's
working environment, which places significant economic value on information and knowledge. Organisations need staff with the
ability to process information in order to understand the market and the social and political conditions in which they are functioning.
Today's graduates need a basic level of ICT understanding to function in almost any position.
