3 WHAT IS INFORMATION LITERACY? IT IS THE ABILITY TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT OF INFORMATION NEEDED ACCESS INFORMATION EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY EVALUATE THE VALIDITY OF SOURCES OF INFORMATION INCORPORATE NEW INFORMATION INTO YOUR KNOWLEDGE BASE USE INFORMATION TO ACCOMPLISH A SPECIFIC GOAL

4 WHY IS INFORMATION LITERACY IMPORTANT? IT FORMS THE BASIS FOR LIFE LONG LEARNING INFORMATION CAN T BE LEARNED UNLESS IT CAN BE FOUND IN THE DIGITAL AGE, INFORMATION AND MISINFORMATION SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE. IF YOU CAN TELL A CREDIBLE SOURCE FROM ONE THAT IS NOT, YOUR RESEARCH WILL BE MORE CREDIBLE.

5 DOMAIN NAMES ALSO KNOWN AS THE URL (UNIFORM RESOURCE LOCATOR) THE LETTERS AND OR NUMBERS AT THE END OF A WEB ADDRESS IDENTIFIES THE TYPE OF WEBSITE THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT DOMAIN NAMES

6 DOMAIN NAMES THE DOMAIN NAME COMES AT THE END OF THE URL EXAMPLE: Here the domain name is.com

7 DOMAIN NAME MEANINGS We ll start with the ones that we can always trust. These are called Top Level Domains.EDU EDU IS SHORT FOR EDUCATION. THIS DOMAIN NAME IS RESERVED FOR INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING (A.K.A. COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES). THE CONTENT FOUND ON WEBSITES WITH THIS DOMAIN IS INTENDED TO BE USED FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES. EXAMPLE: GOV IS SHORT FOR GOVERNMENT. THIS DOMAIN IS RESERVED FOR GOVERNMENT AGENCIES LIKE NATIONAL/STATE PARKS AND GOVERNMENTS THEMSELVES (STATE OR FEDERAL). EXAMPLE:

8 MEANINGS CONTINUED.ORG ORG IS SHORT FOR ORGANIZATION. THIS DOMAIN WAS ORIGINALLY USED FOR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, BUT HAS BEEN EXPANDED TO INCLUDE SCHOOLS, COMMUNITIES, AND FOR-PROFIT ENTITIES. THE INFORMATION FOUND ON THESE WEBSITES CAN BE CREDIBLE, BUT CAN ALSO BE VERY BIASED TOWARDS THE ORGANIZATIONS INTERESTS. EXAMPLE: NET IS SHORT FOR NETWORK. THIS DOMAIN IS INTENDED FOR USE BY INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS. EXAMPLE:

9 MEANINGS CONTINUED.COM - COM IS SHORT FOR COMMERCIAL. THIS IS THE MOST COMMONLY USED DOMAIN NAME. WEBSITES WITH THIS DOMAIN NAME CAN HAVE USEFUL INFORMATION, BUT THEY OFTEN DO NOT. ALONG WITH THE.NET DOMAIN MENTIONED ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, YOU WILL NEED TO USE THE UPCOMING GUIDELINES ON HOW TO TELL RELIABLE WEBSITES FROM UNRELIABLE ONES.
