Information literacy is a set of abilities requiring individuals to recognize when information is needed and to locate, evaluate and use the needed information effectively. It is significant to scholars for making decisions with critical thinking skills, seeking answers to critical questions, finding information from sources, forming intelligent opinions, and evaluating sources of information. Therefore, it is pertinent that governments incorporate information literacy knowledge into academic programs to ensure that citizens are productive and equipped to function globally in the 21st century. Information literacy skills are essential to secondary school students in developing countries. However, many secondary schools’ students have very little or no basic knowledge about library use, computer literacy and information searching skills. This problem can be attributed to students being educated in environments with poor learning facilities, such as lack of well-equipped school libraries, lack of computers in schools and failure to recognize the school library (where in existence) as a learning resource. In this information technology age, secondary school students need to be equipped to develop the skills to help them search, evaluate, and utilize the information effectively. This chapter delved on the extant literature discussing information literacy in secondary schools to establish existing gaps found in this study of information literacy skills of students in secondary schools with African perspective.
