Information Literacy and Workplace Performance
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Noting that information literacy is the new "one skill" that workers need to develop, the author defines and examines its various elements within the context of the workplace.”–
“[a]n astute assessment of the role information plays in society.”–
“The subject of this book is of the highest importance for success in the Information Age and Goad does a first-rate job of explaining essential skills the reader needs!”–
“The book is especially suited for training in information literacy as well as for self-education. The references are useful guides to further study. I thought that it was interersting how respectfully the author treated the librarians as potential kingpins in promoting information literacy. I see this realized in university library schools where schools of information are emerging as new study paths for their students.”–
