English abstract

There is a relationship between information literacy and 21st Century fluencies. Skills in the new media landscape can build on the foundation of traditional literacy, research skills, technical skills, and critical analysis skills. Libraries can make use of online learning tools such as games, simulations, and virtual worlds to foster 21st Century fluencies. These same tools can be used to accommodate different learning styles.
