Information Literacy Information Literacy is a very important issue to BCCC Libraries. In this space we will attempt to provide the college community with important information, resources, and links. Information Literacy is most easily defined by the ACRL* as, "the set of skills needed to find, retrieve, analyze, and use information."* *From the ACRL web site. See below for links to their very useful Information Literacy Web site.
