Welcome,

The teaching and learning program of the Information Resource Centre of Dante Alighieri Academy is founded on the concept of Information Literacy. "Information Literacy is the ability to successfully complete a complex-problem solving process that requires students to define the need for information, determine a search process, locate the required resources, access and understand the information they find, communicate the information and evaluate the conclusions in view of the original problem" (Ontario School Library Association, Information Studies, 1999). It is the promotion of literacy skills, that are outlined in the document Information Studies: Kindergarten to Grade 12 (Ontario School Library Association, 1999) that lies at the center of the program.
