Abstract

The seminar highlighted the importance to become information literate in order to be able to identify right information, at the right time in right format. Information Literacy is described as the ability to identify what information is needed, understand how the information is organized, identify the best sources of information for a given need, locate those sources, evaluate the sources critically, and share that information. It is the knowledge of commonly used research techniques. Areas covered in the discussion include: Why Information Literacy?; ACBF Knowledge Products; Researching Using the Internet; Journals & E-News; E-Books; Digital Libraries and Portals; Finding ACBF Library Resources; Knowledge Resource Corner and the Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI).
