The term information society refers to information saturated world that we live in today.  It refers to a world where we can now gain access to information through a range of different forms in which we have to look at with a critical eye in order to gauge whether that information is legitimate.  This information is available through our phones, computers, iPads and obviously still the physical book but it is now so easy and fast to gain access to.

Teacher Librarians need to have a strong understanding of the broader information landscape as students can be delivered information and find information in such a variety of formats now and therefore Teacher Librarians need to have a strong understanding of what these formats are and how they work.

There is now such a large amount of information provided for people in this world we live in.  Teacher Librarians need to teach students the most efficient and effective ways to search for this information and know how to analyse this information critically in order to test its validity.  Teacher Librarians need to constantly be keeping up and ahead with technology in order to understand the different ways in which information is communicated in order to be able to educate students about this.
