Information Literacy is used as a broad term to describe the identification, evaluation, and use of information, whether in print or digital format. Information literacy is a necessary skill for teachers to develop in  learners. Becoming an information literate requires becoming a good consumer of information and a good creator of information. One who is able to identify the need for information, effectively search for information from credible sources, and evaluate information is considered a good consumer of information. A good creator of information is someone who can effectively synthesize, use, and share identified information. It is important that teachers model in their teaching practices these characteristics of good consumers and creators of information for learners to follow and acquire basic information literacy skills.
