Information Literacy @ CSI
What is Information Literacy ?
Information Literacy, or Information Competency, briefly defined, is the ability to locate, evaluate,
and use information to become independent life-long learners.
We now live in what is often referred to as the Information Age, a time when there is a wealth of information
available to us at every turn. As a consequence, we have found ourselves in a world where information literacy
is a set of skills crucial to being an informed, independent critical thinker.
The mission of the Library Instruction and Information Literacy Program is to ensure, in partnership
with classroom faculty, that College of Staten Island students graduate
as information literate members of our information society.

The purpose is to ensure that our efforts at information literacy fully articulate within CUNY.
These learning objectives have been approved and endorsed by the CUNY University Librarian and the CUNY Council of Chief Librarians,
who agree to work with campus leaders, faculty and administrators to ensure that the learning objectives are met.
