Critical thinking is the ability to distinguish between the knowledge people have, and the form it reaches after being checked, sifted, analyzed, and produced as a final product. This century boasts the wide-spread effect of critical thinking; questioning fact is the core of dealing with matters to uncover their essence, bearing in mind that nothing should be taken as a matter of faith. Socrates, for example, had a special and unique way of treating matters: asking questions which normally end with cogent answers. This paper unfolds important ways that the Learning Resource Centre (LRC)-University of Technology and Applied Sciences- users follow while reading, borrowing, or elaborating any material they use. In order to know how the (LRC) users treat materials at hand- whether hard or soft- the researchers have conducted some ongoing workshops about the aim of being inside the (LRC), and finally they distributed a questionnaire among the users- all levels: from Foundation stage till year Four. What has been reached is that all (LRC) users do not believe blindly in what they read: they question that to the extreme. Discussion, implications, recommendations, and applications will be highlighted in depth throughout the paper.
