Statement of Problem

  "Instead of drowning in the abundance of information that floods their lives, information literate people know how to find, evaluate, and use information effectively to solve a particular problem or make a decision." Dr. Francis Keppel
 

Being able to find answers to problems or questions is a skill all people find useful. Whether the need arises to find which schools have the highest API scores or simply to find the closest theater where the latest movie is playing, everyone needs to find answers. Indeed, in the age of information, those who are able to retrieve information quickly and efficiently are considered information literate.
