"100% Information Literacy Success . . . is written simply without the sense of being dumb-downed. It covers all aspects of information literacy in a nice building block scenario. It gives real life scenarios that the students can relate to and the exercises and activities are designed well." -- Ailya Rose, Santa Barbara Business College "100% Information Literacy Success goes beyond information literacy and information competency to information expertise. I recommend to my students that they keep the book, because as their academic and work skills develop, they will find it even more relevant." -- Patricia Hollander, ASA Institute
