Background
----------
A vast amount of models and terminology has been developed globally by
libraries and other organizations and associations to define the skills that
must someone have in order to be information literate. In the era of
information plethora and digital technology, the information literacy skills
are becoming more and more necessary. 
Universities worldwide and especially academic libraries have early realized
the importance of information literacy and they started to provide tools and
programs to their students. These tools and programs were aiming to help
students to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to
locate, evaluate and use effectively the information needed. Besides, this
is the definition of information literacy according to ALA.
Nowadays, information comes in many formats and forms and its validity and
its quality is not always guaranteed. Students must develop new cognitive
skills in order to use this information succinctly and efficiently.
Additionally, the specialization in disciplines made prerequisite the
information literacy to interfere with the curriculum. 
In these lines of thoughts, many universities and institutions around the
world are starting to endorse information literacy into the curriculum.
