In order to survive and develop, make decisions, and solve problems in
every facet of life - personal, social, educational, and professional,
individuals, communities, and nations need information about themselves as
well as their physical and their social environments. This information is
available via three processes: observation and experimentation,
conversation (with other persons), and consultation (with memory
institutions). The competence to do this effectively and efficiently is
called Media and Information Literacy.

.

Media and Information Literacy consists of the knowledge, the attitudes,
and the sum of the skills needed to know when and what information is
needed; where and how to obtain that information; how to evaluate it
critically and organise it once it is found; and how to use it in an
ethical way.

.

In particular, IFLA recommends that governments and organisations to do
the following:

.

Commission research on the state of Media and Information Literacy and
produce reports, using the Media and Information Literacy indicators as a
base, so that experts, educators, and practitioners are able to design
effective initiatives;

.

Support professional development for education, library, information,
archive, and health and human services personnel in the principles and
practices of Media and Information Literacy and Lifelong Learning;

.

Embed Media and Information Literacy education in all Lifelong Learning
curricula;

.

Recognise Media and Information Literacy and Lifelong Learning as key
elements for the development of generic capabilities which must be
demonstrated for accreditation of all education and training programs;

.

Include Media and Information Literacy in the core and continuing
education of information professionals, educators, economic and government
policymakers and administrators, as well as in the practice of advisors to
the business, industry and agriculture sectors;

.

Implement Media and Information Literacy programs to increase the
employability and entrepreneurial capacities of women and disadvantaged
groups, including migrants, the underemployed and the unemployed; and,

.

Support thematic meetings which will facilitate the acquisition of Media
and Information and Lifelong Learning strategies within specific regions,
sectors, and population groups.
