Abstract
In the broader context of information literacy (IL), library and information science literature recently has seen an increased interest among policymakers, teachers, media specialists, and other professionals in defining and formulating basic skills and outcome measures of IL programs for students, teachers, and parents or care givers. In particular, within the context of the National Goals for Education 2000 and the evolving World Digital Library System, researchers have an opportunity and responsibility to invest in research and education in the area of IL so that every person may effectively access an increasingly complex information workspace. In this article, Ercegovac reports a case study in IL and its underpinning design. She defines and explicates information literacy skills for college students, which is the first step toward understanding the Information Literacy Infrastructure.
