"How Information Literacy Supports Student Success, Retention, and Educational Progress"

This selection of KYVL resources serves to demonstrate the impact of information literacy instruction on students at varying educational levels. The inclusion of information literacy instruction in the student's educational experience serves to build key academic and workplace skills such as search skills, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and ethical use of sources.

The resources compiled underscore the correlation of information literacy instruction with academic success, improved retention and providing graduates a foundational skillset to carry out everyday information-seeking tasks and to advance knowledge in their chosen professions.

This bibliography was assembled by the KYVL Information Literacy Workgroup and is an ongoing project of the workgroup.
