    Information literacy skills are used for academic purposes, such as research papers and group presentations. They're used on the job-the ability to find, evaluate, use and share information is an essential skill. This is the website all about information literacy.

    This site provides what information literacy is, why it's important and how to use it. There are also some helpful links here too.

This is a picture of the Information ABCs. Its a great way to remember to get good information and make sure to cite it if it isn't your own information.

Information Literacy definition

    The definition of an information literate person extends beyond school and application to academic problems--such as writing a research paper--and reaches right into the workplace. Information literacy is also important to effective and enlightened citizenry, and has implications that can impact the lives of many people around the globe.

The Information Cycle - 1 views

I think this video does a creative way of enlightening on the concept of the information cycle. It talks about the cycle in which information is available & the importance of time.

    This is very funny and also very truthful reworking of Coldplay's hit song "Viva La Vida" with new lyrics. It mainly focuses on why finding research on the web is not as useful as using libraries.

    This is real silly, but it did help me understand the concept of information literacy better.

Why Quit Smoking - American Lung Association - 0 views

    I believe that this is rhetorical writing. With smokers being the primary audience, it seeks to persuade them to quit by informing them of all the reasons why they should stop. This article also states facts, builds community for smokers aiming to quit, etc.

How to Choose Good Sources for College Papers - 0 views

    There are many types of sources that you could use in your papers (journal articles, books, newspapers, interviews, etc.), but not all of them are good sources. Good sources give you reliable, accurate information based on real research. I thought this was interesting, seeing as we are all looking for reliable resources for our explanatory essays.

    I liked how this website provided specific examples of good and bad sources.

    A lot of these seem like such minimal things, but they really are important. Like color schemes, small picture use, not writing lengthy paragraphs, and making it accessible to click on links.
