“Ability to defineproblems in terms of their informationneeds, and to apply a systematic approach to Search, Locate, Apply, and synthesize the information and Evaluate the entire process in terms of Effectiveness and Efficiency”.
Who is Information Literate? According to Zurkowski, “Person trained in the application of information resources to their work can be called information literates. They have learned techniques & skills for utilizing the wide range of information tools as ell as primary sources in molding Information solution to their problems”
INFORMATION LITERATE PERSON Recognizes an Information Need Addresses the Information Need Reviews the Process Communicates Information Retrieves Information Organizes Information Evaluates Information Critically Adapts Information
Decision Making Skill set of Information literate Student. Problem Solving Information Literate Student Self Awareness
The Attributes of Information Literate person • Recognizes that accurate & Compete Information is the basis for Intelligent decision Making. • Recognizes the need for Information. • Formulates question based on Information needs & Identifies potential sources of Information. • Develops successful search strategies. • Accesses sources of Information including Open Respository Software’s & other technologies and Evaluates information. • Uses gathered Information in Critical thinking, Decision-making and Problem Solving.
ELEMENTS OF INFORMATION LITERACY Visual Literacy Network Literacy Media Literacy Information Literacy Library Literacy Digital Literacy
The Elements of Information Literacy create the following qualities which represents IB Learners Profile
The objectives of Information Literacy can be applied through the following and Methods of Research:- • Processes of Research • Scientific Research: • Artistic Research • Historical Research • Methods of Research • Exploratory research, which structures and identifies new problems • Constructive research, which develops solutions to a problem • Empirical research which tests the feasibility of a solution using empirical evidence.
The 3 Major Information Sources required to do Research through Information Literacy Sources of Knowledge
The Information Sources shown in previous slide can be accessed through the following table in our Traditional Library
Transforming our Research Environment From Traditional Library to E-Library Teacher Librarian & Teachers New Spaces for IB Students Resource Data
Organizational Transformation in Libraries • Traditional / Automated • Organization is physical • Shelving of documents - Based on Subject Call No • Key - Index / Catalogues / Cards / Digital Catalogs • Cards - Real/Virtual - Author, Title, Descriptions • Digital • Organization in terms of digital files /objects • Contains material digitized form • Contains digital material • Architecture • Key - Metadata

CONCLUSION Through this presentation we show about information Literacy, doing Research through Information Literacy by our Digital Libraries. So we will get more Information from different resources or E-resources. The retrieval of Information from e-resources may be retrieved through a common platforms like J-Stores, J-Gate, We can also customize of libraries for effective Information dissemination through these, by a common keyword a information can be downloaded from different e-resources with minimum time with accurate information and may be customized according user requirement and these customized information can be used for Information Literacy Research through a open repository software like Greenstone.
