What Is It

INFORMATION LITERACY
Includes the ability to identify, find, evaluate, and use information effectively. Thus,
students are trained to evaluate the quality, credibility, and validity of websites.

44
 THREE TYPES OF RESOURCES
There are three types of resources or sources of information: primary, secondary,
and tertiary.

• original materials on which other research is

based, including: original written works –
Primary poems, diaries, court records, interviews,
sources surveys, and original research/fieldwork, and
research published in scholarly/academic
journals.
• those that describe or analyze primary
sources, including: reference materials –
Secondary
dictionaries, encyclopedias, textbooks, and
Sources
books and articles that interpret, review, or
synthesize original research/fieldwork.

• those used to organize and locate secondary

and primary sources. Indexes – provide
citations that fully identify a work with
Tertiary
information such as author, titles of a book,
Sources
article, and/or journal, publisher and
publication date, volume and issue number
and page numbers.

OTHER SOURCES OF INFORMATION

a. Abstracts – summarize the primary or secondary sources.
b. Databases – are online indexes that usually include abstracts for each primary
or secondary resource, and may also include a digital copy of the resource

1. Reference Material -consists of a

range of different types of material providing you
with background information.
2. Dictionaries provides
synonyms/antonyms of words so that learners
would be able to use them appropriately.
3. Encyclopedias provides more
details on the functions of words than dictionaries.

45
4. Other Reference Material -depending on subject area, there are many other types
of reference material.
5. Books may be textbooks at school or university level or more-detailed monographs.
6. e-Books many books are now available in electronic format as e-books.
7. Journals also known as periodicals or serials are published at regular intervals
throughout the year.
8. Websites are reliable sources of information available on the Internet, except
information found in Wikipedia and YouTube.
9. Newspapers can be good sources of information for primary research.
10. Conference Proceedings consists of a collection of paper presentations or
posters delivered at conferences, seminars or workshops. They are sources of primary
research as this may be the first place the information has been made public.
11. Reports are produced by agencies and departments on specific topics or issues.
These agencies include Government departments, research establishments,
charitable foundations and more.
12. Standards are consensus agreements drawn up by representative collections of
people who have an interest in the subject. These might be manufacturers, users,
research organizations, or government departments.
13. Manuscripts and Special Collections are unique items created or collected by
a person or organization in the course of their ordinary business, and retained by them
as evidence of their activities.
14. Theses are major sources of primary research output.

WAYS IN EVALUATING INFORMATION

46
 Consider the E.S.C.A.P.E

THE LIBRARY
The word "library" is used in many different aspects: from the brick-and-mortar
public library to the digital library. Public libraries serve as the best source of
information whether it's a book, a web site, or database entry.

library-containing-forbidden-knowledge/ancientlibrary/
b. https://www.wanderwithjo.com/6-modern-libraries-worth-visit/

Indigenous knowledge is the unique knowledge confined to a culture or society. It

is also known as local knowledge, folk knowledge, people's knowledge, traditional
wisdom or traditional science.

Indigenous communication is a transmission of information through local channels

or forms. It is a means by which culture is preserved, handed down, and adapted.

Indigenous media and information is an original information created by a local

group of people. This also refers to content about indigenous peoples that may be
distributed through dominant forms of media or through forms of communication
unique to their people group.

47
THE INTERNET
History of the Internet

In 1982 the word internet started. In 1986, first “freenet”

created in Case Western Reserve University; in 1991, the US
government allowed business agencies to connect to internet.
Now all peoples can connect to internet and improve their life
and work quality. The internet support various aspects in our
life.
