Information Skills Information Literacy
When looking for information, you need to think about the following:
What do I need to find out? Why do I need this information? When do I need the information by? How am I going to find the information? Where am I going to find the information? Who created this information i.e. how do I know if it is
relevant and trustworthy?

When do I need the information?
• Before I can begin to write an essay and/or begin a discussion (verbal or written)
• Before a deadline date! • Therefore
– you need to think about how long it will take you to get hold of this information
– e.g. time to go to the library, order material from other libraries, purchase material, learn how to access and use databases, etc.

How am I going to find the information?
• It is useful to start by understanding your subject (background reading)– Wikipedia, Google, Google Scholar, dictionaries,
etc.• Gather possible search terms• Begin with the general - and work your way
to the specific
04/19/23 6
![Page 7: Middlesex University Learning Resources Information Skills CMT3342 Assessment 10/9/20151.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649ea15503460f94ba50ce/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Using the Internet
• The Internet is a useful starting point when you want to obtain information on any subject.
• Some search engines are recommended for specific needs.
• Free online resources such as Wikipedia, online journals, subject specific web pages can also be useful
04/19/23 7
![Page 8: Middlesex University Learning Resources Information Skills CMT3342 Assessment 10/9/20151.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649ea15503460f94ba50ce/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
For background knowledge only
• Wikipedia• Google• Google Scholar
Important:Use them to understand the topic, but do not use
as a reference or citation in your coursework

How good is the information?
• Wikipedia– Everybody can contribute to Wikipedia– The audience, i.e. the users correct mistakes– Information does not have to be correct,
• Advantage: can be better than some textbooks, because of its collaborative nature
• Disadvantage: Tug of war between different schools of thought
– Controlled by Wikipedia Project

How good is the information?
• Google– Everybody can put up any information– One does not always know who the author is– Does not have to be correct (there is a lot of
misinformation out there)– No control over content

How good is the information?
• Google Scholar– Searches indexed sources including many of the
databases available via Middlesex University (free via Middlesex, a possible charge via Google Scholar)
– Comes up with publications some of which do not comply with academic standards
– Controlled by Google (and not by academia)– Publications listed show
• Citation index (useful as impact measure)• PDF full text access in many cases (easy access)
