Information communication technology (ICT) has changed the way we
access and use information. It has also dramatically increased the
amount of information available. The information environment
constantly changes, and it requires particular skills to make use
of the bewildering flood of information. These skills, collectively
referred to as information literacy skills, include the ability to
locate, evaluate, and use information effectively. They are
important for everyone, but especially for undergraduate students.
This book will not only ensure that you, as a student, cope with
your studies, but will also enable you to participate in the global
economy and keep abreast of the ever-changing environment once you
graduate. The book examines the various aspects of information
literacy, including finding information in a range of sources and
resources, such as a library and the internet; and differentiating
between various types of resources such as journals, grey
literature, government publications, data bases and the internet.
It demonstrates how to search electronic information sources
effectively, and evaluate information obtained from the internet.
It clarifies what is ethical use of information. Also covered in
this book are the essential skills of compiling notes and summaries
from sources; reading and writing skills - especially as related to
writing assignments; and referencing methods needed for compiling
an accurate and complete bibliography. The book includes self-test
activities and is an indespensable tool for undergraduates.
