Abstract

Information literacy (IL) is the set of skills and knowledge that allows us to find, evaluate, and use the

information we need, as well as to filter out the information we don’t need. IL skills are the necessary tools that help us successfully navigate the present and future landscape of information. Information and technology affects every person in every possible setting work, education, recreation. Here information literacy can play a vital role in educating the users of libraries on various information and documentary resources, where to start searching of information, what where and how to access them, how to assess and compare retrieved information, how to communicate their information or findings to the general masses and experts, and so on. 

Keywords: Information Literacy, Lifelong Learning, ICT, Learning Society information skills, information process, technology skills.
