Introduction

Information literacy is the set of integrated abilities encompassing the reflective discovery of information, the understanding of how information is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new knowledge and participating ethically in communities of learning. - ACRL* 

In the information age, Information Literacy or the ability to define, retrieve, evaluate and use information found, ethically and legally is crucial. Lifelong learning becomes a must in developing an informed citizenry, an up-to-date professional and a socially aware human being. Information Literacy is one of the core competencies that Ò°»¨ÉçÇø expects from its graduates. 

Faculty and staff are therefore encouraged to , or at least to point out the vast resources that are provided which are not available for free from other sources. All beginning students should be brought to the library, additionally when they start in their majors and also in research courses. Because knowledge and information sources are dynamic, every session adds to, and reinforces what was learned before.

Artificial intelligence (AI) literacy is a subset of information literacy**, it is integrated into information literacy instruction, helping users navigate the AI technologies, and critically evaluate sources of information generated by AI for accuracy, bias, and ethical concerns.
