In a post-industrial digital age where misinformation and information overload is becoming an increasingly prevalent problem, information literacy has gone from an advantage to a necessity.

We live in a world where the amount of information we encounter is growing daily at an exponential rate.

On the one hand, obtaining knowledge is easier than it’s ever been. You can learn anything your heart desires in the comfort of your own home.

But on the other lies the challenge of discerning the valuable from the worthless, the authentic from the misleading, the signal from the noise.

Unfortunately, this becomes more and more difficult every day.

Navigating this sea of endless information requires not only the curiosity to explore but also a structured approach to sorting through the deluge of data.

Information literacy will help you move through the digital world more easily, turning a confusing flood of information into a source of knowledge & growth.
