Information Literacy skills are not only essential for student survival at Sheridan, but are also vital to their success in the working world. Information literacy is a set of abilities requiring individuals to be able to:

• Recognize when they need information.
• Locate the information they need.
• Evaluate the information found, and make wise choices.
• Apply the information they have found effectively.
• Understand the social and ethical implications of information.

Incorporating an information literacy component into your curriculum can enhance student research skills, and increase the student's chance of academic success.  A variety of methods can be used, from the simple general orientation session, to the development of specialized components tailored for your course.
