Information Literate or not?

What does it mean to be information literate? The meaning of literacy has grown so much in this complex multifaceted world. It is no longer enough to know how to read and write text. An information literate person is one who:
-- is willing to take risks,
-- is a problem solver,
-- is persistent, and
-- is open to new learning.
Those are the personal competencies. In addition to these, as described by the Canadian Education Association (2003), Focus on Literacy, to be information literate, one must be able to locate, evaluate and effectively use information from a wide variety of sources. This includes gaining meaning from a wide variety of symbols and using technology.
