Information Literacy
"Information Literacy is defined as the ability to know when information is needed, and ability to locate, evaluate and effectively use that information for the issue or problem at hand"
"Finding, managing and sharing information and knowledge"
"Few executives yet know how to ask:
·What information do I need to do my job?
·When do I need it?
·In what form?
·And from whom should I be getting it?
Fewer still ask:
·What new tasks can I tackle now that I get all these data?
·Which old tasks should I abandon?
·Which tasks should I do differently?
"A \'database,\' no matter how copious, is not information. It is information\'s ore. For raw material to become information, it must be organised for a task, directed toward specific performance, applied to a decision. Raw material cannot do that itself ...
"This knowledge society requires that its members learn how to learn."
Peter Drucker, 1992
"Information Literacy implies that an individual be able to:
·determine when information is needed
·define the information needs in searchable terms.
He/she should be familiar with the vast array of information resources available and proficient at accessing and using them to locate desired information".
Information Literacy Competencies
·Knowing when information is needed
·Identifying the information needed to address a given problem or issue
·Finding the needed information
·Organising the needed information
·Using the information effectively to address the problem or issue at hand
Key characteristics of an information-literate person
·Engages in independent, self-directed learning
·Uses information processes
·Uses a variety of information technologies and systems
·Has internalised values that promote information use
·Has a sound knowledge of the world of information
·Approaches information critically
·Has a personal information style that facilitates his or her interaction with the world of information
So lets look at the PowerPoint Presentation and then discuss if there is such a thing as a Knowledge Management System for where we work.
