Information literacy
Information Literacy is a person's ability to find out the information needed, determine, evaluate and use information that is accelerated effectively. Several librarian organizations have different definitions of the concept of information literacy. According to the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP), information literacy is the ability to think critically and draw a balanced assessment of all information found and used. This ability is useful for a person to achieve and express an adequately informed view and to be fully involved in society.[1] The American Library Association (ALA) defines information literacy as a set of abilities that a person needs to be aware of when information is needed and the ability to locate, evaluate, and use the information needed effectively.
Several attempts have been made to link information literacy with several other related literacy concepts, including computer literacy, digital literacy, and literacy related to library utilization. In Indonesia, for example, the Ministry of Education and Culture has a National Literacy Movement program. This movement focuses on developing basic literacy aspects which consist of six aspects, namely literacy, numeracy, science, finance, digital, and culture and citizenship.
