Background
----------
A vast amount of models and terminology has been developed globally by libraries and other organizations and associations to define the skills that must someone have in order to be information literate. In the era of information plethora and digital technology, the information literacy skills are becoming more and more necessary.
Universities worldwide and especially academic libraries have early realized the importance of information literacy and they started to provide tools and programs to their students. These tools and programs were aiming to help students to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate and use effectively the information needed. Besides, this is the definition of information literacy according to ALA.
Nowadays, information comes in many formats and forms and its validity and its quality is not always guaranteed. Students must develop new cognitive skills in order to use this information succinctly and efficiently. Additionally, the specialization in disciplines made prerequisite the information literacy to interfere with the curriculum.
In these lines of thoughts, many universities and institutions around the world are starting to endorse information literacy into the curriculum.
