Learning Activities
Instructions: Read and understand the information sheet below about the different sources if
information. It is important that you understand the concept in order to acquire the skills
necessary to critique gathered information.
Information Sources
- any system producing information or containing information intended for
transmission.
Common Sources of Information

1. Library - a collection of books or other written or printed materials, as well as
the facility in which they are housed and the institution that is responsible for
their maintenance. Modern libraries may contain a wide range of materials,
including manuscripts and pamphlets, posters, photographs, motion pictures,
and videotapes, sound recordings, and computer databases in various forms.

Library Classification
(can be in physical or digital form)

A. Academic Library
A designated place, physical or digital, set aside to house scholarly

B. Public Library
A library that provides library services to the public and is funded

C. School Library
A school library is a library within a school where students, staff, and
often, parents of a public or private school have access to a variety of
resources.
D. Special Library
A special library is a library that provides specialized information

resources on a subject, serves a specialized and limited clientele, and
delivers specialized services to that clientele.
Acquiring the skills necessary in accessing the library will give you the following
benefits:
 Understand the need to use information and define your research topic
 Identify the range of information resources available
 Locate and access information using different library collections
 Use search tools to locate relevant information by applying effective search strategies
 Identify and use subject specific library databases
 Use information independently and critically
 Locate and evaluate quality information on the web
 Cite information and use it in a responsible and ethical manner
2. Internet - A global computer network providing a variety of information and

The Internet, sometimes called simply "the Net," is a worldwide system of

computer networks -- a network of networks in which users at any one computer
can, if they have permission, get information from any other computer (and
sometimes talk directly to users at other computers).

3. Alternative Media – Alternative media are media which provide alternative

information to the mainstream media in each context, whether the mainstream
media are commercial, publicly supported, or government owned.
Alternative media differ from mainstream media along one or more of the
following dimensions: their content, aesthetic, modes of production, modes of
distribution, and audience relations.
Alternative media often aim to challenge existing powers, to represent

marginalized groups, and to foster horizontal linkages among communities
of interest. Proponents of alternative media argue that the mainstream media
are biased in the selection and framing of news and information. While sources
of alternative media can also be biased, proponents claim that the bias is
significantly different than that of the mainstream media because they have a
different set of values, objectives, and frameworks.
Hence these media provide an "alternative" viewpoint, different information and

interpretations of the world that cannot be found in the mainstream. Because the
term "alternative" has connotations of self-marginalization, some media outlets
now prefer the term "independent" over "alternative".
In this YouTube link, James Corbett, talks about what alternative media is.
Other alternative forms of communication and distribution have become popular.

These include social media, blogs, and flash mob performances. These alternative

forms provide greater freedom and power to ordinary individuals and are a
quicker way of distributing information. The downside is that a lot of the
information being passed around is biased and inaccurate.
4. Indigenous Media - …owned, controlled and managed by indigenous peoples in

order for them to develop and produce culturally appropriate information in the
languages understood by the community by utilizing indigenous materials and
resources, reflecting community needs and interests, visions and aspirations, and
independent from vested interest groups. (Indigenous Media, Freedom of
Expression and Right to Information: ASEANScenario, 2014)

Indigenous knowledge (IK) is the local knowledge – knowledge that is
unique to a given culture or society. IK contrasts with the international
knowledge system generated by universities, research institutions and
private firms. (Warren 1991). Knowledge that is unique to a specific
culture or society; most often it is not written down.
Characteristics of Indigenous Media
• oral tradition of communication

• store information in memories
• information exchange is face-to-face
• information is contained within the border of the community
Importance of indigenous media and information
• Popular media cannot reach some rural areas. While print, broadcast, and
new media have a wide reach, there are still areas that these forms of
media have not reached.

• Indigenous media and information are highly credible because they are
near the source and are seldom circulated for profit.
• Indigenous media are channels for change, education, and development
because of its direct access to local channels.
• Ignoring indigenous media and information can result in development
and education programs that are irrelevant and ineffective.
• Forms of indigenous media and their local examples:
a. Folk or traditional media
b. Gatherings and social organizations
c. Direct observation
d. Records - may be written, carved, or oral
e. Oral instruction
You may watch a video from Living Asia Channel about the different fest of
indigenous people.

As a 21st century learner, you must be able to acquire the different skills in determining
the reliability and accuracy of information.
Skills in determining the reliability of information.

a. Check the author. The author’s willingness to be identified is a good indication of
reliability.
b. Check the date of publication or of update. While the information may be true, it
may not be reliable if it is outdated and may have lost relevance.
c. Check for citations. Reliable authors have the discipline of citing sources of their
information.
d. Check the domain or owner of the site or page. The domains .edu and .gov are
reserved for academic institutions and the government respectively. Information
from such sites are presented with caution and are usually well-grounded. Site
owners may have an agenda that affects the manner by which information is
presented.
e. Check the site design and the writing style. Credible sources take time to make
their information accessible and easy to comprehend.
Skills in determining accurate information.

a. Look for facts.
b. Cross-reference with other sources to check for consistency.
a. Determine the reason for writing and publishing the information. Check if the
author is objective or leaning heavily on a certain point of view.

c. Check for advertising. Advertisers may use related information to market their
product.
The following is a checklist that contains criteria with questions to ponder for every piece
of information that you may have
