This book is a great attempt in blending the critical components of information literacy, making it a "one stop shop," in a way that it can enable a reader to quickly relate these components and gain a clear picture of how valuable information literacy can contribute to skills acquisition for lifelong learning. The content of the book is organized under nine main chapters, each unique and carrying a specific component of information literacy education. They provide the reader with over 90% of what one would expect to gain as knowledge when it comes to information literacy in keeping with information needs, information seeking behavior, information sourcing and the ethical use of information. The use of information, which is considered a key input in the creation and maturation of knowledge, must go along with information literacy skills.

The author has tried to anticipate readers' questions and provided possible explanations in the hope that the reader will forgive any queries that are not satisfactorily explained and find something of interest in the book. ItĀ  This book will be of value to Library, Archival and Information science students as well as researchersĀ  who concerned with the ethical use of information.
