What is Information Literacy?

A set of individual competencies needed to identify, evaluate,

and use information in the most ethical, efficient and effective
way across all domains, occupations, and professions.

It refers to the ability to recognize when information is needed

and to locate, evaluate, effectively use and communicate
information in its various formats.
Sources and Information Overload
With the technology nowadays, people have this sense of ease and comfortability to
just search everything on the internet. But upon hitting that enter button, thousands to
even a million search results appear talking about the same topic you indicated. You
might even think of going into a library to make it simpler, but again, you will stumble
upon a number of books, articles, and other published works that talk about your
topic.

The diversity and large quantity of information present in the various media platforms
like libraries, community resources, different organizations and the internet, gives you
an overwhelming sense of dilemma. These, sometimes, unfiltered and unchecked
formats and data often raises questions on its authenticity, validity, and reliability.

 •Another problem that might
arise is the availability of
information through multiple
Multimedi media like graphical, in
a sources picture form, aural, voice
over or recording, and
textual. This challenges a
person to better
comprehend and analyze it.
