Mission Statement

The Fahan libraries are committed to developing skills which will assist students to become lifelong learners. By co-operatively working with other teaching staff, information literacy outcomes will be identified and achieved using a wide range of print and digital resources. We are also committed to promoting literature and fostering a love of reading as a worthwhile leisure pursuit.

An information literate person is one who:

* recognises that accurate and complete information is the basis for intelligent decision making
* recognises the need for information
* formulates questions based on information needs
* identifies potential sources of information
* develops successful search strategies
* accesses sources of information including computer based and other technologies
* evaluates information
* organises information for practical application
* integrates new information into an existing body of knowledge
* uses information in critical thinking and problem solving.
