Information literacy is the key to
solving problems, acting
ethically, planning for the future and preparing for change. Information
Literacy includes all other forms of literacy including: "traditional
literacy (the ability to read and write), media literacy (the ability to
critically evaluate and create media, such as television, advertising,
news stories and movies) and numerical literacy (the ability to understand
and solve problems with data and numbers)." (Ontario Library Association,
