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."
Definition from American Libraries Association Information Literacy Competency Standards

Information literacy forms the basis for lifelong learning. It
enables learners to master content and extend their
investigations, become more self-directed, and assume
greater control over their own learning. An information
literate individual is able to:
• Determine the extent of information needed
• Access the needed information effectively and efficiently
• Evaluate information and its sources critically
• Incorporate selected information into one’s knowledge base
• Use information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose
• Understand the economic, legal, and social issues surrounding the use of
information, and access and use information ethically and legally
