Information Literacy1
WHAT IS ?
- ability to identify what information is needed;
- understand how the information is organized;
- identify the best sources of information for a given need;
- locate those sources;
- evaluate the sources critically;
- and share that information.
WHY IS IMPORTANT?
- we are surrounded by a growing ocean of information in all formats;
- not all information is created equal: some is authoritative, current, reliable, but some is biased, out of date, misleading, false;
- the amount of information available is going to keep increasing;
- The types of technology used to access, manipulate, and create information will likewise expand.
