Information literacy is the key skill required for lifelong learning, however, acquiring information literacy skills is not enough by itself for success; individuals should also develop confidence in these skills. Low self-efficacy beliefs may be a significantly limiting factor for individuals to use their information literacy skills effectively. Determining the level of self-efficacy beliefs for information literacy will enable individuals 'at risk' to be identified. Therefore, it is suggested to use self-efficacy scales as additional assessment tools while mixing and matching assessment methodologies to gather usable information for the evaluation of information literacy instruction programs.
