Related to finding and using information

Being information literate means staying adaptable in a constantly changing world of information. In its simplest application, information literacy is to be able to:

when you need information to solve a problem

Know

what kind of information you need and where you can find it.

Identify

the information you need

Locate

if the information you found is useful and valid.

Evaluate

the information you found to resolve the problem or issue.

Use

As you continue to engage with information in your personal, academic, and professional life, consider the following questions:

Are you open to different ideas when searching for information and aware of how your own opinions can affect what you find?

Do you make an effort to stay up-to-date with current events and topics by searching for information often?

Can you effectively use technology to access, organize, and share information?

Do you show that you respect the ideas of others by giving credit to the authors and sources of information you use in your work?

Do you check the information you come across for accuracy, reliability, relevance, and authority?

Do you think about how you plan to use a source of information when checking if it's accurate and relevant, since the suitability of a source can change based on the situation?

Do you think about how you find and use information so you can figure out ways to improve and feel more confident in your ability to work with information effectively?
