First Exercise - Information Literacy Video

All right, to business then.

The video on information literacy was pretty well set out and easy to understand. Some of the main points included information literacy being a solution to data smog (where too much information can create a barrier in ourl lives) and allowing us to cope by giving us the skills to know when we need information. The DISCOVER method (Define, Inquire, Search, Collect, Organise, Verifying, Express and Reflect) comes into play here and is something useful to remember. Personally I do consider myself as information literate because I usually follow these steps when researching and evaluating information.
