Perspective of Liberal Arts July 3, 2022 As a college student, information literacy is very important to find information for class work and assignments. It is also important to help identify, find, evaluate, and acknowledge information. In today’s world, there is a lot of misinformation out there. With so much misinformation on the internet, students must worry about whether a source is credible or not. Not just students, but everyone. It is also important to avoid plagiarism and to give the author credit for their work. Over the years the way we access information has changed drastically. You must be able to navigate the internet and find the information that you need. My information literacy skills have changed since starting to course and while researching the resources in Module 1. One main point that I took notice of was that I did not know that all the sources on normal search engines only show the results that the publisher does not require payment for to see (Life in the Information Age, 2021). The two main sources that helped me with this module are Nimbly Wise reading and waiting videos, titled, Life in the Information Age). Watching the videos and reading the resources provided has taught me a lot about Liberal Arts that I did not know. I have never thought of innovation because of liberal arts teaching or thought of what it is. The other source that impacted me was the video called What Databases and Why You Need Them.” I had never learned why it would be impactful for research. Knowing how databases are used for researching materials that are credible and easily filtered was impactful. One of the main points I found in this video is how much you can filter a search. Having strong literacy skills will impact my academic and professional career in various ways. Understanding what credible sources are and how to use and find them. It will help me with my decision-making in my career, finding sources that provide relevant and credible data so that I can achieve specific goals. Resources Life in the Information Age.
