"Information Literacy Skills"


For many teachers, their memories of completing a research report focus on being assigned a topic, being sent to the library, feeling lucky if they could find more than one resource (with the encyclopedia serving as the main source), and writing up the report using their own words. Most frequently, their biggest problem was not being able to find enough information in outdated books and encyclopedias.
Fast forward to the twenty-first century. The amount of information available over the Internet, on the news, and in newspapers, magazines, and books is astonishing and overwhelming. Students now are literally surrounded with Web pages of information, CD-ROMs with interactive programs, books, magazines, and other multimedia products. Most frequently, the biggest problem students face is finding too much information and not knowing what to do with it. Before students can be taught to understand concepts and skills and be asked to use their multiple intelligences, they need specific tools to work with the large amount of information at their fingertips. Without these skills, students feel like innocent lambs being thrown to the information wolves.
