Information literacy, information fluency

Information Literacy/Fluency

We have been covering the latest developments in the field of information literacy, also referred to as information fluency (and other terms), since first writing about this topic in Educational Pathways in early 2003. Academic librarians, on the other hand, have been talking about information literacy for decades.

In addition to writing about information literacy in EdPath, Lorenzo Associates, Inc., President George Lorenzo is currently writing a book that has a keen focus on information literacy. George has also provided writing and research services related to information literacy for the University of Central Florida and for the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative.

If you are working on a project that has an emphasis on information literacy, Lorenzo Associates, Inc., has an excellent, broad-scoped understanding of this topic. We can assist and/or lead with conducting timely research, interviewing key professionals, writing strong and informative content and designing and producing first-class documents about any information literacy initiative.
