INFORMATION
COMPETENCY/LITERACY
Information competency is the ability to find,
evaluate, use, and communicate information in all
its various formats. It combines aspects of
library literacy, research methods and
technological literacy. Information
competency includes consideration of the ethical
and legal implications of information and
requires the application of both critical
thinking and communication skills. The

Mesa Academic Senate Resolution Whereas the
Statewide Academic Senate has defined Information
Competency as the ability to find, evaluate,
use, and communicate information in all its
various formats. It combines aspects of library
literacy, research methods and technological
literacy. Information competency includes
consideration of the ethical and legal
implications of information and requires the
application of both critical thinking and
communication skills, and Whereas it has long
been recognized on the Mesa College campus that
many of our students do not possess these
competencies, and Whereas the subject of
Information Competency has become important
enough for the Statewide Academic Senate to be
considering its inclusion as a graduation
requirement (while leaving the requirement's
implementation to the individual campuses),
therefore Resolved that the Mesa College Academic
Senate directs the Academic Affairs or Curriculum
Committee to study the feasibility of
incorporating Information Competency into the
curriculum. Be it further resolved that the
Senate recommends that faculty and staff within
relevant departments (e.g. LRC, Counseling) be
involved in the process.
