Information literacy (IL) refers to the ability to recognize a need for information and to find, analyze, and synthesize material from books, article, websites and more that meet that need. For students, it often means the ability to begin with the requirements for an assignment and write a relevant research question; find materials in any medium that answer the question; analyze their accuracy, currency, and other criteria; and use the materials to create a paper that’s complete with citations and other scholarly requirements.
