Description

As the quality and quantity of information needed to function in our social institutions increases, colleges and universities are being asked to graduate students who are information literate and can operate independently in a rapidly changing, complex, information-rich environment. This volume explores the concept of information literacy as an essential element in defining an educated person living and working in the Information Age. The strategy to achieve this goal centers around resource-based learning, which requires students to critically analyze and synthesize information from a wide variety of sources available outside of the traditional classroom. The goal is to develop students as active learners who can obtain, integrate, and apply information from diverse sources. This is the 78th issue of the quarterly journal" New Directions for Higher Education."
