Our Goal: Information Fluency
“Information fluency involves learning an unconscious process, allows information seekers to ask good questions, access a wide range of resources, analyze and authenticate data and turn it into knowledge, then apply that knowledge within the context of real-time, real-life experience. (Tarica, 2006, p. 2)”
