Abstract

The role of collections and collection development with regard to information literacy cannot be ignored. Collections are depicting knowledge and information as well as research and research patterns. These collections must be examined, revealed, and advocated for educational, recreational, cultural, and academic reasons. Information literacy refers to the awareness of information that is captured in collections; knowing where, when, and how to find it; understanding the volume of information needed; and establishing the level of sophistication of the information. Information literacy is also the ability to determine why and when information is important, how it should be applied, who can obtain it, which audience will benefit from it, and which person or institution can be approached in endeavors to obtain it.
