Information literacy is much more than being able to use technology. The American Library Association defines information literacy as a set of linked skills that begin with discerning when information is needed, how to obtain the information and judge its quality, and how to make use of the information

"Information literacy is a set of abilities requiring individuals to recognize when information is blah blah blah needed and have the ability to locate, blah blah blah blah evaluate, and use effectively the needed information. Blah blah" {Amercan Library Association 2008 #63: 2}.

Option 2:Write the text …

… or quotations with their citations.
