Information Literacy
1.
2. ❖ Imagine being in a new school. Everything is
unknown to you.
❖ How do you familiarize yourself with your
new environment?
❖ How do you get to know everything and
anyone around you?
❖ All these information are important for you
to survive in your new environment.
3. ❖ We learned that all processed data in a broad
sense is considered information.
❖ These can be gained through inquiry,
experience, education, signs, and symbols.
Now, one may think that getting information
is easy.
❖ However, we always have to consider if the
information we get is true and valid.
❖ Being able to look for the right information in an
effective way is a skill that everyone should have.
4. ❖ Information comes from the Latin word
“informare” which means, “formation of
the mind or teaching”.
❖ Information is vital in our everyday
communication and growth, just like how
we find the need to gather information in
our new environment, or how we would
want to feature our favorite person.
5. -The American Library
Association has defined
information literacy as
abilities that enable a person
to “recognize when
information is needed and
have the ability to locate,
evaluate, and use effectively
the needed information.”

7. The diversity and large quantity
of information present in the
various media platforms like
libraries, community resources,
different organizations and the
internet, gives you an
overwhelming sense of
dilemma.
8. Another problem that might
arise is the availability of
information through
multiple media like
graphical, in picture form,
aural, voice over or
recording, and textual. This
challenges a person to
better comprehend and
analyze it.
