    Integrating Information Literacy In Algerian Higher Education Curriculum: A Compelling Academic Desideratum
    (Université de M'sila, 2016-10-15) Prof Toulgui, Laid
    Although digital technology has revolutionized our ways of teaching and learning, particularly the Internet , the Algerian student exaggeratingly relies on it in his research, he seems to neglect intentionally or unintentionally - an important factor that closely contributes to developing his information literacy (IL). The paper will confirm the prevalence of this phenomenon by exposing IL skills and his disinterest in evaluating online information. In a more explicit way, this research is a reflection on the importance of teaching IL and credibility evaluation skills situated in the online information environment. The intended practice should forcibly encourage the Algerian student to be able to identify, locate, organize, analyze, interpret, and evaluate information from a variety of digital sources, and eventually inculcate him with how to be an autonomous, self-directed learner.
