Sumario:Information literacy is a concept that is becoming increasingly important to healthcare and radiologic sciences. Life-long learners need information literacy skills in order to locate, evaluate, and use information effectively in the healthcare environment. Radiologic science educators need to determine if their students are graduating with these skills. This pilot study examines one program's attempt to measure student information literacy skills upon entrance and exit to a radiologic sciences program. Results indicated an increase in student information literacy skills as well as areas that need further improvement.
