UNESCO is strongly advocating the building of knowledge societies where the power of information and communication help people access the knowledge they need to improve their daily lives and achieve their full potential. In this context, information literacy has become crucially important, as a mean to empower people in all walks of life to seek, evaluate, use and create information effectively to achieve their personal, social, occupational and educational goals.
