We're Almost There....Reflection 4

Information Competency.....well, though the the phrase seems intimidating, once you understand what it means, and what is involved, it is not that threatening. I interpret this as the ability to navigate through the different mediums on which information is offered. It is the ability to efficiently perform research on a given database. It is also the ability to effectively utilize the many services a library typically offers. In a nutshell, it's your ability to gain revelant information and utilize it. I feel that this course has transformed me into a information competent pupil. I will have added confidence when I take English courses. I no longer fear the research paper!! Information management is always evolving, as evidenced by the Information R/Evolution video . So a student needs to make sure he/she is constantly updating and gaining new information competency skills......it's the sure way to succeed!!
