This article proposes that the integration of information literacy standards into the management classroom can address underdeveloped student research strategies and promote effective use of print, digital, and free Web resources. Incorporating information literacy can support management educators in their need to balance disciplinary content, departmental curriculum, and broader educational goals that support the preparation of future managers. This article begins with a review of core information literacy concepts and standards. An in-depth discussion of information literacy challenges on campus and in the workplace follows. Next, the authors offer an evolving case example that illustrates the incorporation of information literacy skills and concepts into an introductory management course. Implications and suggestions for management educators are explored. © 2008 Organizational Behavior Teaching Society.
