• CriQcal'informaQon'literacy'
'“In'order'to'address'these'concerns,'librarians'in'the'academy'need'to'define'informaQon'
itself'as'the'product'of'socially'negoQated'epistemological'processes'and'the'raw'material'
for'the'further'making'of'new'knowledge.'…'UlQmately,'criQcal'informaQon'literacy'
involves'developing'a'criQcal'consciousness'about'informaQon,'learning'to'ask'quesQons'
about'the'library’s'(and'the'academy’s)'role'in'structuring'and'presenQng'a'single,'
knowable'reality.”'(Elmborg,'198)'
