What is Information Literacy ?What is Information Literacy ?
“Ability to define problems in terms of their information needs, 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”.
Main Objectives of LIS Information Literacy
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”
Reviews the Process
Recognizes an Information Need

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.

5. Collection (Gather information on the focused topic)
5. Synthesis Organize Present
6. Presentation 6. Evaluation Judge the product Judge the process
7. Assessment (outcome/process)
DOING RESEARCH THROUGH INFORMATION LITERACYINFORMATION SKILLS RESEARCH PROCESS INFORMATION PROCESS & HOW
OBJECTIVES OF LIBRARY INFORMATION LITERACY IS
ACTIVATED
1. Formulation/Analysis of information need
1. Choose a broad topic Defining2. Get an overview of the topic
3. Narrow the topic
4. Develop thesis/purpose statement
2. Identification/appraisal of likely sources
5. Formulate questions to guide research
Locating
6. Plan for research & production
3. Tracing/locating indiv. resources 7. Find, analyze, evaluate resources Selecting4. Examining, selecting and
rejecting individual resources
5. Interrogating/using individual resources
8. Evaluate evidence/take notes/compile bibliography
Organizing
6. Recording/storing information
7. Interpretation, analysis, synthesis & evaluation of information
9. Establish conclusions/Organize information in outline
Presenting
8. Shape, presentation & communication of information
10. Create and Present final product Assessing
9. Evaluation of the assignment
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
LibrarySN CLASS OF
QUESTIONSAMPLE TYPES REPRESENTATIVE SOURCES
1. LANGUAGE DEFINITION,SPELLING,ABBREVIATION,SYMBOLS,
FOREIGN TERMS,USAGE
DICTIONARY, THESAURUS
2. BACKROUND SOMETHING ABOUT,GENERAL INFORMATION ,SELF-EDUCATION

What are digital libraries for?
• Knowledge/content management– Manage and access internal
information assets
• Scholarly communication, education, research– E-journals, e-prints, e-books, data sets,
e-learning
• Archiving and preservation
DLs: Workflows and Processes
Content selection Content acquisition Content publishing
Metadata preparation Content loading
Content indexing & storage Content access & delivery
Preservation Access management Usage monitoring and evaluation Networking and interoperation Maintenance

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.
