Short Description

This presentation will address changes in the information landscape and the implications for information literacy definitions, standards, and instruction. In the new information landscape information comes freely to students outside the classroom and without provocation. Students are no longer information consumers; they respond, recreate, and pass on information. The significance of society’s evolving relationship with information is discussed.
