What does it mean to be information literate?

Information these days is cheap and easy, but that doesn't mean it's good. No one sets out intending to settle for bad information. The truth is, there are many barriers to good information - some we can control and some we can't. The path to good information is more complicated than ever. Context, production and delivery are continually unfolding and at an ever-increasing pace. We all want to be well-informed, but our technology-rich environment is simultaneously overwhelming and overly simplistic.  It's not just about finding an answer - it's finding the right oneSo, how do we get around those barriers? I can help.
