Information Fluency: Not Information Literacy 2.0

This paper distinguishes information fluency from information literacy as concepts in and approaches to higher education. A review of information fluency literature reveals emphases on defining it, and the importance of collaboration. In addition to distinguishing it from information literacy, this paper identifies two necessary components to information fluency: collaboration and commitment. A table and checklist for assessing these components, along with an exceptionally effective institutional example of information fluency is provided. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
