“ EDUCATION IS NOT THE FILLING OF A PAIL , BUT THE LIGHTING OF A FIRE .”
W . B . Yeats
Information literacy refers to the skills required in order to locate , understand , and represent new information . It gives students the empowerment to develop confidence and agency to pursue their own paths to personal and academic success . In order to succeed in the 21st century , students need to learn the skills to become self-learners and educators for an ever-developing and changing world .
