LESSON 8: INFORMATION AGE
INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
Began in Britain in the 18th century, is the direct
consequence of a major invention, the steam engine.
Its use in the factories gave rise to the manufacturing
economy and to a new set of class relations – the capitalist
and the working class.
Like the steam engine during the first Industrial
Revolution, the information and communication technology
has completely changed the way society organizes its
economic activity.
INFORMATION AGE
The Internet arose in 1969, but it was in 1989 when a fully
developed World Wide Web arose and turned it into the global
platform for knowledge sharing, communication, and
archiving.
Other developments that coincided with the information age is
the revitalized role of libraries in the production of knowledge.
The invention of the microform in 1945 allowed for the storage
of bulky materials; however, the technology will soon be
superseded by digital imaging, digital storage and digital
modalities of transmission.
KNOWLEDGE SOCIETIES
Knowledge societies are about capabilities to identify,
produce, process, transform, disseminate, and use
information to build and apply knowledge for human
development.
As emphasized by UNESCO, the concept of Knowledge
Societies is more all-embracing and more conducive to
empowerment than the concept of technology and
connectivity, which often dominates debates on the
information society.
KNOWLEDGE SOCIETIES
The global information society is meaningful, only if it
favors the development of knowledge societies sets itself
the goal of “tending towards human development based on
human rights.”
For UNESCO, the construction of knowledge societies
“opens the way to humanization of the process of
globalization.”
WHAT IS THE INTERNET?
It is a vast chain of computer networks in which anyone who has
access to a computer with internet connection can publish their
documents.
All these networks are linked together via digital technology.
Thus, the internet allows transmission of a variety of file types,
both written and non-written multimedia.
Sites can be searched or even remembered (bookmarked) through
its own address called Uniform Resource Locator (URL). Each
part of a URL provides information about the web page.
Sourcing from the WWW
WHO PUTS
INFORMATION ON THE
INTERNET?
The three-letter code predicted by a dot(.), simply known as the domain,
gives you a fairly good idea of who is publishing the Internet site.
.edu – educational institution. It may contain carefully processed and
reviewed information though it may not represent the individual views of
the academic personnel.
.com – mostly commercial entities, some of which are profit oriented.
.org – non-profit organizations
.gov – government organizations
.net – internet service providers
SOURCES OF
INFORMATION
A. POPULAR
PUBLICATIONS
•Most of what rules in print and non-print media are popular
publications with the general public as its target audience.
•Included under this category are journalistic articles, feature articles,
manuals, flyers, fact sheets, and even blogs by netizens.
•They serve to both inform and entertain the general public. Reporters,
journalists, or anyone, for that matter, can publish popular publications.
•We turn to popular publications to have a pulse of popular opinion, or
to get entertained, or to simply gain information regarding a popular
subject.
B. SCHOLARLY
PUBLICATIONS
•These are well-researched articles found mostly in
academic journals and published for the specialists of a
specific field.
•The language is very technical because it is geared toward
the consumption of specialists, scholars, and those seeking
research-based information on a particular area of
knowledge such as the social sciences, the natural
sciences, and the arts and humanities.
C. TRADE PUBLICATIONS
•These are also highly specialized materials meant for the
players and specialists of a specific industry. Some good
examples are publications on motoring or publications on
construction.
•Trade publications combine popular appeal and
specialized knowledge because it also needs to attract the
non-specialist who are the potential consumers or users of
a particular product.
Types of Sources of Information
• Sources are generally described as primary, secondary, or
tertiary.
• Primary: Primary sources are “materials that you are directly
writing about, the raw materials of your own research.”
• Secondary: Secondary sources are “books and articles in
which other researchers report the results of their research
based on (their) primary data or sources.”
• Tertiary: Tertiary sources are “books and articles based on
secondary sources, on the research of others.”
– Tertiary sources synthesize and explain the work of others and might
be useful early in your research, but they are generally weak support
for your own arguments… at times they are challenged in your
argument!
PRIMARY SOURCES are original
materials. They are from the time period
involved and have not been filtered through
interpretation or evaluation. Primary
sources are original materials on which
other research is based. It is a first-hand
source
They are usually the first formal
appearance of results in physical, print or
electronic format. They present original
thinking, report a discovery, or share new
information.
Examples are:
- Interview
- Research Papers
- Published Articles
- Autobiography
SECONDARY SOURCES are less easily
defined than primary sources. Generally,
they are accounts written after the fact with
the benefit of hindsight. They are
interpretations and evaluations of
primary sources.
Secondary sources are not evidence, but
rather commentary on and discussion of
evidence. However, what some define as a
secondary source, others define as a tertiary
source.
Examples are:
- Textbooks
- Biographies
- website made by other people
- dictionaries

FORMATS OF
INFORMATION
VARIOUS FORMATS OF INFORMATION
Plagiarism
Posing another’s work as one’s own
Misrepresentation and deception
Quoting without acknowledging original source
Paraphrasing without acknowledging original source
Paraphrasing that closely resembles the original in
language and syntax without crediting original source
Improper citation
Repeatedly submitting own work (self-plagiarism)
Two types of plagiarism:
• Intentional • Unintentional
• Copying a friend’s work • Careless paraphrasing
• Buying or borrowing • Poor documentation
papers
• Quoting excessively
• Cutting and pasting
blocks of text from • Failure to use your own
electronic sources “voice”
without documenting
• Media
“borrowing”without
documentation
• Web publishing without
permissions of creators
Copied and yet demand good grades…
Integrity

PLAGIARISM
A. Plagiarism has legal implications. While ideas
themselves are not copyrightable, the artistic expression
of an idea automatically falls under copyright when it is
created. Under fair use, small parts may be copied without
permission from the copyright holder. However, even
under fair use - in which you can use some parts of the
material for academic or non-profit purposes – you must
attribute the original source. What is considered fair use is
rather subjective and can vary from country to country.
B. STRATEGIES IN AVOIDING PLAGIARISM
• Submit your own work for publication. You need to cite even
your own work.
• Put quotation marks around everything that comes directly from
the text and cite the source.
• Paraphrase, but be sure that you are not simply rearranging or
replacing a few words and cite the source.
• Keep a source journal, a notepad, or note cards- annotated
bibliographies can be especially beneficial
• Use the style manual in properly citing the sources
• Get help from the writing center or library
