Info Literacy Presentation - Smith, D.
This document discusses how to identify reliable sources for online research. It recommends searching subject-appropriate domains like .gov, .edu, and .org, and looking at factors like the author's credentials, date written, and whether sources cite other research. Sales pages trying to persuade or sell products are less reliable than informational sites. Google Scholar is suggested for finding scholarly articles on a topic. The key is evaluating sources based on these criteria rather than just accepting the first results found.

Evaluating web content using Authorsden
This presentation presents an asynchronous instructional module demonstrating how social networking sites can enhance digital information fluency. Digital Information Fluency (DIF) is the ability to find, evaluate and use digital information effectively, efficiently and ethically. Students preparing for high school graduation need to be able to identify, evaluate and use information related to reading comprehension effectively. Social networking sites serve as a good learning platform for students, as they have the flexibility and privacy to balance learning with work and personal responsibilities. This presentation addresses a needs assessment for librarians helping DC high school students to evaluate internet resources for reading comprehension resources from various social media networks by determining the authority, accuracy, objectivity, currency, and functionality of the information. After a brief instruction, they will complete the web exercise using Facebook, and provide feedback using SurveyMonkey. With the explosion of information on the Internet, it is important for users to have the skills to analyze the various web sources using the information literacy competency standards. This presentation also provides an example to librarians how they can supplement classroom instruction with social networks to teach the importance of information literacy. Combining classroom skills with Web 2.0 strategies allows users to learn at their own pace and can allow students to maintain confidentiality.
Evaluation of Information
This document provides guidance on evaluating different types of sources for research, including books, magazines, and websites. It outlines key criteria to consider for each source type, such as the author's expertise and potential biases, date of publication, accuracy of content, and whether the source is primary or secondary. For all source types, students are advised to critically examine the author's credentials and potential agenda, consider the reliability based on reviews or citations, and evaluate whether factual claims are supported and information is up-to-date. Web sources require additional scrutiny of authorship, hosting organization, and primary versus secondary nature of content. The document aims to help students distinguish high quality sources suitable for academic research.

Examples demonstrate how to apply these criteria to determine if specific websites are reliable sources for research. Wikipedia can only be used to consult the references of topics as a last resort.
Evaluating Internet Information
This document provides tips for students to evaluate the reliability and credibility of websites. Younger students may not be ready to evaluate all websites and should start with sites their teachers or librarians have vetted as accurate. Students can visit intentionally fake sites to learn how to spot inaccuracies, and should evaluate sources by checking author credentials and affiliations, looking at publication dates, and paying attention to URLs and requests for personal information. With practice, students will build a list of trusted sites to use for future research.

NEWSPAPERS - QUESTION 1 - REVISION POWERPOINT.pptx
Module 12 pp information literacy
- 1. U.S. Department of Education Dillon Hilderbrand Information Literacy C103/110 Module 12
- 2. Website Name I chose to do the United States Department of Education because my topic was an educational issue.
- 3. Topic and Search Terms I used the information search bar at the top of the home page to conduct my research. I simply typed in STEM Education.
- 4. Search Agents and Limiters On this particular website they didn’t have much of a way to filter your results, as it was mostly a google type search. However, they did have information based on whether you were a student, educator or other professional.
- 5. Understanding Overall, I really liked the information given on this site. I found all of the information really useful for my research and it was credible because it was all provided by a credible government based source. If I were to conduct research in the future I would definitely use a site such as this one.
- 6. Opinion In my opinion this site was very helpful and it had many useful articles and statistics that Academic Search Premier and other databases didn’t have. However, there were not many ways to limit your search and there weren’t many articles that had sources or a place to see citations.
