Obama Declares October "Information Literacy Awareness Month"

President Obama, in his official proclamation, called upon the people of the United States and educators, in particular, "to recognize the important role information plays in our daily lives, and appreciate the need for a greater understanding of its impact." Obama reminds us that "the ability to seek, find, and decipher information can be applied to countless life decisions, whether financial, medical, educational, or technical." [-Barack Obama, President of the United States of America]
