ACM Information Literacy in the Social Sciences
14-15 Aug 2002

"Information literacy is the ability to locate, evaluate, manage and use information from a range of sources for problem solving, decision making and research. With the rapid increase in the amount of information and the increasing availability of information technology, information literacy has quickly become one of the most vital sets of skills for the twenty-first century."
