A Statement on Information Literacy

Catholic Education South Australia (CESA) (2002). Statement on information literacy
Retrieved from http://online.cesanet.adl.catholic.edu.au/docushare/dsweb/Get/Document-7133/statement+on+information+literacy.pdf

In an effort to empower students for lifelong learning they need to have the ability to retrieve, evaluate and use information effectively.

Information literacy is a dynamic concept which continues to evolve as new technologies become part of student learning.

As a teacher librarian it is my responsibility to teach students skills in critical appraisal.

The rest of the article just confirms all of the other literature that I have read about IL.
It was interesting though to see the way that the Teacher Librarian's role has been set out. after reading it, I am feeling less confident about my role as a teacher librarian and feel that I will never reach the lofty standards of being an excellent teacher librarian.
