College students think of information seeking as a rote process and tend to use the same small set of information resources no matter their question. Information literacy is essential for lifelong learning and empowers individuals and societies. Our educational system should expose students to information literacy from elementary school through postsecondary education so that it is a habit of mind they can call upon throughout their lives. Collaborative efforts between faculty, librarians, technology professionals, and others can develop students who graduate with information literacy competency. Researchers at the Information School at the University of Washington released an important and thought-provoking report in late 2009: " Lessons Learned: How College Students Seek Information in the Digital Age ." 1 The study confirms and expands on the results of other reports.Information Literacy - 182 Resources
