Information Literacy

What is information literacy?

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. (American Library Association).

The librarians at Georgian Court are committed to information literacy instruction which enables our students to become life-long learners. To that end, we offer class instruction, faculty workshops, one-on-one assistance at the reference desk or by appointment with a subject librarian.
