LITERACY? (LI)

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biased, out of date, and misleading.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.
