Information Literacy!
Well! Just when you thought you knew someone, they change it up on you. When I commenced reading Module 5 – Information Literacy, my first thought was ,’Excellent finally something I already understand’. It turns out there is more than meets the eye when it comes to Information Literacy (IL). American Library Association (ALA) identifies […]
