Hello Claudio:  I suppose my intention is to be able to explain exactly what 
information literacy is (I have the official definition), and relate back to my 
class how various librarians are teaching it.  If information literacy is the set 
of abilities requiring individuals to recognize when information is needed and have 
the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information, how 
then is this being accomplished in schools/schoollibraries?  How are librarians 
interpreting this definition, and how are they going about its implementation?  Is 
there a particular method of teaching information literacy that has proven 
successful?  Are there areas that are more difficult to teach than others in 
regards to information literacy?  Is there one particular real life scenario that 
can illustrate how information literacy was taught?  Does this help?  For some 
reason I am having a hard time wrapping my brain around this term.  It seems that 
it is being made more complicated than it really is, or maybe not. I am not sure. 
At any rate, I will be a media specialist very soon, and I need to grasp a good 
understanding of information literacy for my career, not just the current course 
that I am taking in school.  Thank you for your possible help.
