Abstract

This chapter examines the relationship between information literacy and social change in the context of academic libraries. In the rapidly evolving information landscape, information literacy plays a crucial role in empowering individuals to navigate the abundance of information, critically evaluate sources, and make informed decisions. Academic libraries, as key providers of information resources and services on college and university campuses, have a unique opportunity to foster information literacy skills among students and contribute to social change.
