  • Abstract

    Students having instant access to information through Google or Yahoo is a double edged sword. While students can find answers through public search engines quickly, many are unable to discern valid information from bad information. Students must develop good habits before they enter the workforce. This article highlights higher education teaching strategies for information literacy.
