Today literacy can be ability to use, understand, and create the discourse which

is read and communicated flexibly in different situations. Literacy also cannot be

grown in a short time. It is because literacy is an inherent skill and becoming a habit.
Vygotsky (2004) stated that the habit of doing things does not always guarantee that

the man has behaved consciously (cognition). This applies to all disciplines, all

learning environments, and all levels of education. Information literacy allows
learners to master content and extend the capability of searching for information,

become self-reliant and assume greater control over their own learning.

As the conclusions, the “Empowering Eight Model’ are relevant to use in
information literacy delivery among human. Information literacy is the awareness

and skills to identify, locate, evaluate, organize, create, use and communicate

information to solve or resolve problems (Morris, 1979).
