3. What is Information? "One can have information without knowledge, but it is impossible to have knowledge without information. Information literacy is knowing where and how to find the information sources as well as how to locate the information within those sources; how to determine whether the information found is accurate, reliable, and valid; and how to use that information to further knowledge." (Waggoner)
