Pursuing Information Literacy Summary:
Twenty-first century organizations -- from businesses to educational institutions -- cannot succeed without both high-quality, current information and staff who are able to use it. This book reveals the importance of information literacy skills to the success of every organization. Author and instructor Emmett Lombard defines information literacy, its development, and its social significance. Lombard then demonstrates the application of information literacy in a number of different sectors, including: business, health care, media, government, justice, defense, and education. He interviews several different types of people from diverse sectors and concludes each chapter with issues that a person from that sector may face and advice on how to address them, and in the closing chapter, explores the future of information literacy.
