Cultura informaţională - necesitate stringentă în societatea contemporană
Information Literacy - A Stringent Requirement of the Contemporary Society

Summary/Abstract: The term information literacy, sometimes referred to as information competency, is generally defined as the ability to access, evaluate, organize and use information from a variety of sources. Being information literate requires knowing how to clearly define a subject or area of investigation; select the appropriate terminology that expresses the concept or subject under investigation; formulate a search strategy that takes into consideration different sources of information and the variable ways that information is organized; analyze the data collected for value, relevancy, quality and suitability; and subsequently turn information into knowledge. This involves a deeper understanding of how and where to find information, the ability to judge whether that information is meaningful and, ultimately, how can that information be incorporated best to address the problem or issue at hand.
