Let’s Explore and Discover

We all share information by speaking, writing, or other

Unlocking of methods and use information by reading, listening, or watching.
Difficulties The most important form of sharing information is by personal
communication, where people make their thoughts and wishes
INDIGENOUS known to one another. People communicate in many ways
means native, including by talking, writing letters, making telephone calls, and
also through the internet and other media. Without personal
local, originating communication parents would not know what their children
or produced need, teachers could not help their students learn, people could
naturally in a not share knowledge. Each person would have to learn
particular region. everything for herself/himself and in this way, human beings
probably could not have survived for long. So, humans are an
important source of information.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF SOURCE OF INFORMATION

I. LIBRARIES - A library is a collection of resources in a variety of formats that is

organized by information professionals or other experts who provide convenient
physical, digital, bibliographic, or intellectual access and offer targeted services and
programs with the mission of educating, informing, or entertaining a variety of
audiences and the goal of stimulating individual learning and advancing society as
a whole.

2
Four (4) Major types of Libraries

1. Academic – A library having an integral part of a college, university or other

academic institution for post-secondary education, organized or administered to
meet the information needs of students, faculty, and affiliated staff of the
institution. College or University libraries (classified under the academic library)
contribute towards undergraduate and postgraduate study programs as well as
the research programs of the university. This, however, is not its exclusive
function. Specific examples of academic libraries: Government academic
libraries: University of the Philippines, Polytechnic University, Technological
University of the Philippines, etc. Private Academic Libraries: Dela Salle
University, Ateneo de Manila, Jose Rizal College, Letran, University of Sto.
Tomas, University of the East, Far Eastern University, etc.

2. Public – Any library which provides library services without charge to all
residents of a given community, district, or region supported by public or private
funds. The public library makes its basic collections and basic services available
to the population of its legal service area without charges to individual users but
imposes charges on users outside its legal service area. A library accessible to
all residents of a given community, distinguished from a private library. Specific
examples are Makati Public Library, Quezon City, Manila Public Library, Pasig,
Valenzuela Public Library, etc.

3. Private - A library not supported by taxation, especially a library belonging to

an individual. One which is owned by a private individual. Also, a library is
owned by a society, a club, or other organization to which members of the public
have no right of access. Specific examples are: Ferdinand E. Marcos, Fidel V.
Ramos, Senator E. Angara, Jose V. Vargas, Jorge Araneta, Rosa M. Vallejo , etc.

4. School - A library in a school building administered by a public library or a

board of education for the use of students and teachers and frequently for the
adults of the neighborhood. Specific examples of school libraries are M. Hizon
Elementary School, P. Gomez, Abada High School, Manila Science High School,
Arellano High School, Araullo High School, etc.

5. Special – A library established, supported, and administered by a business firm,

private corporation, association, government agencies, or other special interest
group or agency to meet the information needs of its members or staff in
pursuing the goals of the organization. The scope of collection services is limited
to the subject interests of the host or parent organization. Special libraries
because of their special collection are the ff.: Cultural Center of the Philippines,
National Commission for Culture and the Arts as well as Ayala Museum and
Iconographic Archive (art and culture), San Miguel Corporation, Sycip Gorres
and Velayo, Board of Investment, Ayala Corporation (business, trade, and
investments) National Steel Corporation, Southeast Asia Iron and Steel
Corporation (iron and steel industries) Department of Justice and Supreme
Court (laws, statutes and legal matters), etc.

II. INDIGENOUS - This May be defined as forms of media expression conceptualized,

produced, and circulated by indigenous peoples around the globe as vehicles for
communication. Indigenous media varies from one place to another. The teacher
may look for local examples of how communication is passed on within local
communities. The key to this is identifying the source of information and the key
authorities in a community. Local meetings such as ‘Kapitan’, ‘balitaktakan’, and
‘kwentong barber’ are some examples of how news and stories are passed on within
a community.
3
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 their direct access to local channels.
 Ignoring indigenous media and information can result in development and
education programs that are irrelevant and ineffective.

Five (5) Forms of Indigenous Media

1. Folk Or Traditional Media
2. Gatherings and Social Organizations
3. Direct Observation
4. Records (Written, Carved, Oral)
5. Oral Instruction
III. INTERNET - It is a global computer network providing a variety of information and
communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized
communication protocols. a system architecture that has revolutionized
communications and methods of commerce by allowing various computer
networks around the world to interconnect. Sometimes referred to as a “network of
networks,” the Internet emerged in the United States in the 1970s but did not
become visible to the general public until the early 1990s. By 2020, approximately
4.5 billion people, or more than half of the world’s population, were estimated to
have access to the internet.

Things to Consider in Evaluating Information:

1. Reliability - Information is said to be reliable if it can be verified and evaluated.

Others refer to the trustworthiness of the source in evaluating the reliability of
the information.
2. Accuracy - Accuracy refers to the closeness of the report to the actual data.
Measurement of accuracy varies, depending on the type of information being
evaluated.
Forecasts are said to be accurate if the report is similar to the actual data.
Financial information is considered accurate if the values are correct, properly
classified, and presented.

Skills In Determining Accurate Information

a. Look for facts.
b. Cross-reference with other sources for consistency.
c. Determine the reason for writing and publishing the information.

3. Value - Information is said to be of value if it aids the user in making or

improving decisions.
4. Authority - Much of the information we gather daily do not come from a primary
source but is passed on through secondary sources such as writers, reporters,
and the like. Sources with an established expert on the subject matter are
considered as having sound authority on the subject.

5. Timeliness - Reliability, accuracy, and value of information may vary based on

the time it was produced or acquired. While a piece of information may have
been found accurate, reliable, and valuable during the time it was produced, it
4
 may become irrelevant and inaccurate over time (thus making it less valuable).
Other information may be timeless, proven to be the same in reliability, accuracy,
and value throughout history

Skills In Determining the Reliability of Information

a. Check the author
b. Check the date of publication or update
c. Check for citations
d. Check the domain or owner of the site/page.
.com – commercial
.gov – government
.edu – educational
.org – a nonprofit organization
.mil – military
