Information Literacy Resources

Here are different Links to authoritative, reliable and accurate sources on the topic of Information Literacy (IL).
I will try to keep this part of the blog updated as much as possible. So, bear in mind that it takes time to include valuable sources

It is worth noting that Information Literacy dates back to 1974 and is usually attributed to Paul Zurkowsky. This leads me to also state that IL is a subject in itself and one can even obtain both an MA and a PhD in the subject.
