• Scholarship is a conversation
• Searching as strategic exploration

11. Stages/Elements of Information Literacy
Back to Agenda Page
1 – Identifying/recognizing information needs
2 – Determining sources of information
3 – Citing or searching for information
4 – Analyzing and evaluating the quality of information
5 – Organizing, storing or archiving information
6 – Using the information in an ethical, efficient and effective
way
7 – Creating and communicating new knowledge

12. Stages/Elements of Information Literacy
Back to Agenda Page
1 – Identifying/recognizing information needs
Ex. A university is committed to transitioning to sustainable
energy practices. The administration needs information on
viable renewable energy solutions to make informed decisions.

13. Back to Agenda Page
2 – Determining sources of information
Ex. The university's research department identifies various
potential sources:
Academic journals in environmental science and engineering.
Government reports on renewable energy policies and
initiatives.
Industry reports from reputable energy organizations.
Expert opinions from conferences and forums on sustainable
energy.

14. Back to Agenda Page
3 – Citing or searching for information
Researchers use online databases, university libraries, and
government websites to find relevant articles, reports, and data
on renewable energy solutions.

15. Back to Agenda Page
4 – Analyzing and evaluating the quality of information
Researchers critically assess the reliability and credibility of the
gathered information by:
Checking the credentials of the authors and the reputation of
the journals.
Verifying the accuracy of data through cross-referencing.
Examining the publication date to ensure the information is up-
to-date.

16. Back to Agenda Page
5 – Organizing, storing or archiving information
Researchers organize information into categories such as solar,
wind, and hydro energy solutions.
Information is stored digitally using a secure and accessible
database for easy retrieval.

6 – Using the information in an ethical, efficient and effective
way
The university ensures ethical use by:
• Respecting copyright laws when citing sources.
• Applying acquired knowledge to make environmentally
conscious decisions for the campus.
• Collaborating with ethical and sustainable energy providers.

18. Back to Agenda Page
7 – Creating and communicating new knowledge
The research team synthesizes findings into a comprehensive
report.
Knowledge is communicated through:
Publishing research in academic journals.
Hosting seminars and workshops to share insights with the
campus community.
Collaborating with industry partners to contribute to the
broader field of sustainable energy.

Let’s think!
Scenario: Emma, an environmental science
student, is tasked with writing a research paper
on sustainable energy options. She needs to
identify key information requirements, such as
the latest technologies, environmental
impacts, and cost-effectiveness.

20. Process Questions:
• What qualities should we look for in our sources of
information to make sure they are credible and
reliable?
• When is an appropriate time to share information
on social media? When is it a bad time? Be specific
as possible and explain why.
