Information Literacy is the ability to understand when outside information is needed, how to search for that information, and how to decide if that information can be trusted.
Information literacy is a cumulation of skills around finding, evaluating, and using sources. There are many different types of information literacy, such as: data literacy, social media literacy, academic research literacy.
