What Is Information Literacy?

Information literacy (IL) is the ability to recognize when information is needed and to locate, evaluate, and use it effectively. At Fort Hays State University, IL is a foundational skill that empowers students to become critical thinkers, ethical researchers, and lifelong learners.
