Computers In Libraries 2010: Information Fluency: Literacy for Life

The 25th annual Computers in Libraries is the largest technology conference & exhibition for librarians and information managers in North America. Computers in Libraries has grown to become the top destination for librarians and info pros focused on technology and its applications in today's libraries.  

Information fluency goes beyond literacy (the ability to read and write), information literacy (the ability to find, evaluate and use information), media literacy (the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and create messages in a variety of forms), and digital literacy (the ability to use digital technology, communication tools or networks to locate, evaluate, use and create information). It extends to other types of literacy necessary to grow, learn and live – cultural literacy, global literacy, news literacy, scientific literacy, economic literacy, social literacy, health literacy, multimedia literacy, computer literacy, social online literacy, and more. Information, and fluency with it, permeates every part of our lives. Developing skills to become fluent with information is the key to our success individually as well as in groups, teams and communities.
