MEDIA AND INFORMATION SOURCES

LESSON OBJECTIVES:
In this lesson, the students will be able to:
1. Identify different information sources.
2. Differentiate each’s advantages and disadvantages.
3. Understand the organizing system used in the library.

I. TOPICS:
A. INDIGENOUS- defined as forms of media expression conceptualized, produced, and circulated by
indigenous peoples around the globe as vehicles for communication, including cultural
preservation, cultural and artistic expression, political self-determination, and cultural sovereignty.
 Indigenous media overlap with, and are on a spectrum with, other types of minority-
produced media, and quite often they share a kinship regarding many philosophical and
political motivations.

Types or examples of indigenous media:

1. Ethnographic film is a non-fiction work that reflects the lives of indigenous
people, typically following the documentary format.
2. Aboriginal Media - One of the most notable aboriginal media in existence is
run by the Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association or CAAMA
called Imparja.
3. Traditional Media – print, radio, and television – was initially invented as a
means of mass communication with the purpose to inform.

B. LIBRARY- its most traditional sense is defined by the Merriam-Webster’s dictionary as a place
where books, magazines, and other materials (such as videos and musical recordings) are available
for people to use or borrow.
1. Types of Library
a. Academic libraries serve colleges and universities.
b. Public libraries serve cities and towns of all types.
c. School libraries serve students from Kindergarten to grade 12.

 d. Special libraries are in specialized environments, such as hospitals, corporations,
museums, the military, private business, and the government

2. SYSTEMS USED FOR ORGANIZING LIBRARY CONTENT

a. OPEN PUBLIC ACCESS CATALOG (OPAC) is an online database of all the resources and
materials held by a library. It is a card catalog, of sorts, that is accessed via computer or
another electronic device.

 Online public access catalogs could potentially replace the old-fashioned card
catalog as a means of helping library visitors locate the resources they seek. Users
can search the database electronically, which can provide them with a quicker and
more thorough means of locating necessary information, resources, books,
literature, or other materials.

 One of the unique aspects of an online public access catalog is that it is user-friendly
and accessible by all parties. That means that anybody, regardless of their age,
status, or even their level of knowledge about computers, can use the system.

 If help is needed in a search, the system itself is designed to offer that assistance by
use of various prompts, suggestions, help topics, FAQs, and even error messages
when needed. Search results are displayed in a format that is easy to read and
understand

b. DEWEY DECIMAL CLASSIFICATION- also called Dewey Decimal System, system for
organizing the contents of a library based on the division of all knowledge into 10
groups, with each group assigned 100 numbers.
The 10 main groups are:
1. 000–099: general works
2. 100–199: philosophy and psychology
3. 200–299: religion
4. 300–399: social sciences
5. 400–499: language
6. 500–599: natural sciences and mathematics

 7. 600–699: technology
8. 700–799: the arts
9. 800–899: literature and rhetoric
10. 900–999: history, biography, and geography

C. INTERNET
- The World Wide Web has considerably grown from its introduction in 1991. As of the
writing of this book, Internet Live Stats has reported over a billion of registered websites.
- Experts, scientists, professionals, intellectuals, have pooled their works and resources
together in cyberspace. By allowing the free flow of information from different sources, the
Internet has made information available to all
1. Aspects of internet as a source of information
a. Abundance- users or netizens can upload resources which in turn adds to the
information found online that can be used as references.
b. Availability- with internet connection or signal, information found online can be easily
accessed.
c. Accessibility- using multiple types of devices, information thru online can be easily
accessed.
