The accepted definition of literacy has evolved from being able to read and write to the expanded and more elaborate ability to address the practices and outcomes of education in the Information Age. Literacy is referred to in different terms: math literacy, reading literacy, media literacy, print literacy, visual literacy, cultural literacy, computer literacy. Each literacy prescribes a particular process by which that content area can be more easily negotiated. But there is one -- Information Literacy -- under which all the other literacies reside because it is a tool of empowerment. Students who possess information literacy have a heightened capacity for doing meaningful, relevant work. "Regardless of where information literacy skills are employed, they are applicable in any school, play, or work situation."
