This Information Literacy
Tutorial was designed to help users develop the skills needed
to effectively locate, evaluate, and use information. These skills
are not only useful for researching assignments in class,
but they also serve as the basis for a process of life-long
learning, and day-to-day information gathering for decision-making,
such as information needed for:
buying an affordable and reliable car
getting information on a company for a job interview
researching a new neighborhood if you are moving
picking through information on a political candidate
incorporating education expenses into your tax
return
This Information Literacy
Tutorial specifically helps the user to find and evaluate
library resources for researching academic topics, but the skills
acquired also apply to information you might find on the web, watch
on television, hear in a radio program, gather from a personal
interview or other source of information. Developing information
literacy will help you throughout your time at St. John's, in your
career, and in all other aspects of your life.
