Excerpt
.
.
Information Literacy lies at the core of lifelong learning. It empowers
people in all walks of life to seek, evaluate, use and create information
effectively to achieve their personal, social, occupational and
educational goals. It is a basic human right in a digital world and
promotes social inclusion of all nations.
Lifelong learning enables individuals, communities and nations to attain
their goals and to take advantage of emerging opportunities in the
evolving global environment for shared benefit. It assists them and their
institutions to meet technological, economic and social challenges, to
redress disadvantage and to advance the well being of all.
Information Literacy comprises the competencies to recognise information
needs and to locate, evaluate, apply and create information within
cultural and social contexts;
is crucial to the competitive advantage of individuals, enterprises
(especially small and medium enterprises), regions and nations;
provides the key to effective access, use and creation of content to
support economic development, education, health and human services, and
all other aspects of contemporary societies, and thereby provides the
vital foundation for fulfilling the goals of the Millennium Declaration
and the World Summit on the Information Society; and
extends beyond current technologies to encompass learning, critical
thinking and interpretative skills across professional boundaries and
empowers individuals and communities.
Within the context of the developing Information Society, we urge
governments and intergovernmental organisations to pursue policies and
programmes to promote Information Literacy and lifelong learning. In
particular, we ask them to support
.
regional and thematic meetings which will facilitate the adoption of
Information Literacy and lifelong learning strategies within specific
regions and socioeconomic sectors;
.
professional development of personnel in education, library, information,
archive, and health and human services in the principles and practices of
Information Literacy and lifelong learning;
.
inclusion of Information Literacy into initial and continuing education
for key economic sectors and government policy making and administration,
and into the practice of advisors to the business, industry and
agriculture sectors;
.
programmes to increase the employability and entrepreneurial capabilities
of women and the disadvantaged, including immigrants, the underemployed
and the unemployed; and
.
recognition of lifelong learning and Information Literacy as key elements
for the development of generic capabilities which must be required for the
accreditation of all education and training programmes.
.
We affirm that vigorous investment in Information Literacy and lifelong
learning strategies creates public value and is essential to the
development of the Information Society.
