Information literacy is the ability to find, evaluate, and use information effectively and ethically. It involves skills such as critically analyzing sources, synthesizing information, and using appropriate research methods. Information literacy is important in a digital age where information is abundant and easily accessible, as it helps individuals to navigate and make sense of the vast amount of information available to them. This research area focuses on understanding how people acquire and apply information literacy skills, as well as how educators and librarians can promote information literacy in educational settings.
