Our group definition: Information literacy involves knowing when you need information (and when you may need it again) within various contexts. An information literate person understands that seeking information is an iterative process that sometimes requires knowing not just how to find information, but when and how to find additional information. An information-literate person can transfer and use these skills across disciplines and domains, conscientiously shares information (including crediting sources) and also understands how information literacy is connected with critical thinking.

An information literate person:
 * Can discern levels of credibility from a variety of sources and medium (assessing and evaluating)
 * Can intentionally use technology in a proficient and efficient manner
 * Can recognize the different skills needed for different activities (voting, finances)
 * Open to and aware of alternative paths
 * Can recognize when more specific literacies are needed
 * Can access, store, organize, share information for the present and the future
 * Understands how information literacy is connected with critical thinking skills
