The simplest definition I've heard so far is one I pulled from Information Power: Information literacys is understanding how to access and use information. It goes further saying that the focus should be on the process of learning and not on the dissemination of information. My take on this is that, to assist users in becoming information literate, instead of handing them the information, we assist them in learning how to access the information themselves. Any further thoughts on this?
