What is the "6th Annual Information Literacy Conference"?
It is a one-day conference covering the various aspects of Information Literacy in academic institutions, public libraries and K - 12 education.
What presentation/poster topics are you looking for?
Throughout the day the presentations can cover anything from the basics of information literacy, how to write your information literacy program, success stories, tools to assist in the implementation and more! Click here to see what sessions and posters were offered last year.
Here are the Association of College and Research Libraries' Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education.

· Access the needed information effectively and efficiently
· Evaluate information and its sources critically
· Incorporate selected information into one's knowledge base
· Use information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose
