I decided to write a information literacy guide for adult learners. I did this because I am one and I work with them all the time. I took what I would want one of my students to understand about information literacy and turned it into a quick guide. What I realize is many times adults have not been in school for years and things are very different. Many could have been out of school for decades and have not had to research online before. They may not realize things like wikipedia is not an acceptable source or even where to start on how to cite a paper.
Adults also do not like to ask for help so if they have a quick guide they can look at and do not have to look elsewhere they will be more likely to be successful.
