Information Literacy in the Scottish Government Jenny Foreman Lesley Thomson March 2009
A smarter Scotland is at the heart of everything we want to achieve for this country. We can only build a Scotland that is wealthier and fairer, one that is healthier, safer, stronger and greener, if people are equipped with the skills, expertise and knowledge for success. Fiona Hyslop, MSP. 2007. Skills for Scotland.
“ If Scotland is to remain an advanced economy it is essential that its people should understand how to  access information, assess it critically and use it discriminatingly , in other words be information literate and have the necessary information literacy skills and competencies.” Dr   John Crawford
