This youtube video      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWzigkpR7yg

made by four Instructional Technology graduate students from the University of Mary Washington in 2007 does make sense.

I learned from it that I needed more time than it gave to digest the information and that hooks to remembering are helpful; i.e.1. the DISCOVER approach
                                                 2. introduction of particular terms.e.g...DATA SMOG

I found the music really bugged me and muting it allowed me to focus on the information much better.

I learned a good definition of Information Literacy....
       .Information Literacy can be defined as the ability to articulate a problem to be investigated,
        locate and assemble information,
        scrutinize gathered resources,
        process and apply information toward a solution    and
        contemplate the effectiveness of the entire process.

Define
Inquire ( I still keep wanting to spell it with an 'e')
Search
Collect
Organize ( american spelling rules!)
Verify
Express
Reflect

I consider myself fairly Information Literate, but it is always important to remind one's self about the need to cite references, be critical, remember what information we are actually looking for ( it is so easy to get sidetracked these days!). I have this opinion about myself because, checking against the definition, I usually follow these steps closely.
