Evaluation Title: Information Literacy and Society
This assignment provides you with an opportunity to reflect on
the sociocultural issues and implications involved with the concept of
information literacy.

Throughout the course, you have applied the concept of information
literacy to your academic work. For this unit, please expand your scope
and in a 2-3 page reflective essay, share your thoughts on how you see
information literacy being applied in our society.
Possible prompts include: are some groups more informationally
literate than others? If so, why? Is this related to the concept of
“information privilege”? If so, can you explain how? How does society
benefit from a population that is informationally literate? How does a
society suffer from a population that is not? Do you believe our society
values information literacy? Why do you feel as you do? Should we care
about whether a society possesses information literacy skills?
You may use the personal pronoun “I” in this essay. If you use
secondary sources, be sure to provide a citation such as (Smith, 2002,
p. 82) and the corresponding reference in APA style.
