Which set of skills covers finding and using information effectively?

• A. Information Literacy Skills
• B. Digital Literacy
• C. Literacy Celebrations
• D. High-Traffic Areas

Answer: (A)

Information literacy skills mean knowing when information is needed, finding credible sources, judging the quality and relevance of what you find, and using that information responsibly. This includes evaluating evidence, avoiding plagiarism, and citing sources properly. That makes it the best fit because it specifically covers both locating information and applying it effectively. Digital literacy, while related, centers on using technology and online tools, and doesn’t by itself guarantee the ability to locate and evaluate information or to use it ethically. The other options don’t describe a set of skills for handling information.
