The document discusses approaches to information literacy at three McGill University libraries. It notes the changing environment of schools and libraries with overwhelming amounts of information available online. The vision of McGill's Information Literacy Committee is to encourage independent learning and problem solving skills. The libraries aim to help students develop research skills to evaluate information and become lifelong learners. Effective information literacy involves critical thinking, strategy development, and evaluation of sources. The basics of information literacy include navigating the library resources and learning search techniques. Promoting library instruction involves integrating it into curriculums and encouraging faculty involvement.
