4. WHAT IS INFORMATION
LITERACY? (LI)
It is knowing when you need the information, where to find it, how
to evaluate, use and communicate it in ethical manner.
Recognizes that information must be taken to include research
data
Also encompasses the ability to manage the information and data.
5. Information literacy has been known by many different
names: library orientation; bibliographic instruction; user
education; information skills training.
6. WHY DO WE NEED IL?
For us to differentiate between facts, opinion
and false statement.
Not all information is created equal: some is
authoritative, current, reliable, but some is
biased, out of date, and misleading.
The types of technology used to access,
manipulate, and create information will likewise
expand.
7. Finding the good stuff is not always quick! And the good
stuff does not always come cheaply, either.
In short, to make it in today's Information Age, you have to
be even smarter, not dumber than your typewriter.
