INDIGENOUS
KNOWLEDGE
• According to Warren (1991), it is the knowledge that is

unique to a given culture or society. It may contrast with the
international knowledge system generated by universities,
research institutions and private firms.
• IK is 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

reference materials (such as books, manuscripts,
recordings, or films) are kept for use but not for
sale.
• It was existed because of the birth of the printing

press. And expected to select and provide content
that area easy to access.
• Its main role is to organize and provide you access

information. And labelled as “steward of good
information”.

private business, and the
government
INTERNET
• It is a global computer network providing a variety

of information and communication facilities,
consisting of interconnected networks using
standardized communication protocols.
• Unlike similar information found in newspapers or

television broadcasts, information available on the
Internet is not regulated for quality or accuracy;
therefore, it is particularly important for the
individual Internet user to evaluate the resource of
information

EVALUATING THE
INFORMATION
FOUND IN THE
INTERNET
Evaluating Information
AUTHORSHIP
•It is critical to relate the
ideas you find at a site
to a particular author,
organization, or business.

PUBLISHING BODY
• Anyone with an Internet Service
Provider (AT&T, UP.net, NMU,
etc.) can put up a Web page. As
a result, you need to have some
idea whether the group claiming
responsibility for the information
on the Web site is legitimate.
ACCURACY AND VERIFIABILITY
• A source of information is known
to be scholarly when it provides
references to the information
presented. In this way, the reader
can confirm whether the
information is accurate or the
author's conclusions reasonable.
CURRENCY
• Some information is very time sensitive. For
example, a page talking about the top rate
Web search engines in 1997 is going to be
horribly out of date in 2000. There have
been incredible changes in search engine
technology and new developments appear
almost monthly. However, a page discussing
the Civil War is likely still relevant today even
if the page was created in 1996
and has not been updated.
