Tutorials

Information literacy is the ability to find and use information sources effectively to meet an information need. As an information literate person, you will be able to:

• Focus and narrow your topic to develop a thesis statement and set clear research goals
• Identify high-quality information resources in a variety of formats (book, article, media)
• Use effective search strategies and techniques
• Evaluate your results for authority, reliability, accuracy, timeliness, and usefulness to your project
• Cite your sources properly in your work.
