HOW PLAGIARISM RELATES TO INFORMATION LITERACY

INFORMATION LITERACY IS THE ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE THE NEED FOR

INFORMATION AND ACCESS, EVALUATE AND USE THE NEEDED INFORMATION

EFFECTIVELY AND ETHICALLY WHILE INCORPORATING COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY.

AN INFORMATION LITERATE PERSON SEARCHES, ORGANIZES, USES RESOURCES,

AND PRODUCES PROFICIENTLY. SEARCH IS THE ABILITY TO METHODICALLY

ACCESS INFORMATION FROM A VARIETY OF RESOURCES. ORGANIZE IS THE
ABILITY TO STRATEGICALLY EVALUATE AND ARRANGE GATHERED INFORMATION.
USE RESOURCES IS THE ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY INCORPORATE VARIOUS TOOLS
TO RETRIEVE, ASSEMBLE AND PRESENT INFORMATION. PRODUCE IS THE ABILITY
TO SUCCESSFULLY GENERATE A PRODUCT THAT SYNTHESIZES INFORMATION IN
AN ORGANIZED, MEANINGFUL AND ETHICAL MANNER.

PLAGIARIZING DOES NOT REQUIRE AN INDIVIDUAL TO UTILIZE ANY INFORMATION

GATHERING SKILLS
