Degree-seeking students entering Florida Community College in the catalog year 2004 or later, OR who changed program of study to degree-seeking since Fall Term 2004, must demonstrate competency in the area of information literacy by passing the College’s Information Literacy Assessment (ILAS).

Students are encouraged to take the ILAS early in their academic career (the first semester being the ideal), and a variety of resources and preparation materials for the ILAS are available free of charge.

• Detailed instructions on how to enroll in the free online Information Literacy Review in Blackboard are available here in audio-visual or text-only formats or by visiting any FCCJ library. Students not currently enrolled in classes who want to review for the ILAS using Blackboard may contact any librarian for assistance.
  
  
• The book Learning to Learn is available from any FCCJ library as a supplement to the online Information Literacy Review materials.
  
  
• For individual assistance with information literacy and preparation for the ILAS, students may visit or call any FCCJ library or e-mail infolit@fccj.edu.

In addition to the free review materials outlined above, students may also choose to enroll in the credit-bearing course LIS 1002 for an in-depth exploration of information literacy. Contact any librarian or academic advisor for more information.
