Community college libraries in the United States and Canada are seeing a huge demand for information-literacy courses. According to the article, such courses "help students find, communicate, and critically evaluate online information."

What they're calling "information literacy," which is what I'd call "qualifying online sources," I briefly cover in the Media Diet chapter of Bit Literacy. This is indeed an important skill, but it's just a small percentage of what students really need in order to survive in the networked workplace. Students need all the skills of bit literacy, not just qualifying their sources.
