Week 1

Hey, Assalamualaikum...Finally I am back with my second blog. For this semester I have chosen Information Literacy and my lecturer name is mam Asna. First week was really boring and stressful because the schedule is really busy and messy. She told us the Do's and Donts of class. Lecturer taught us a lot in first week. The day she arrived first in class, she started with the introduction of students. That phase was really interesting and enjoying. Ice-breaking session was difficult because for me this subject was new and I have never been taught before. The topics she taught in first semester are:

 Information Literacy: The ability to know when there is a need for information, to be able to identify, locate, evaluate, and effectively use that information for the issue or problem at hand. Although this definition seems to be most commonly used, there are other definitions that are widely recognized as well. For example, another conception defines it in terms of a set of competencies that an informed citizen of an information society ought to possess to participate intelligently and actively in that society or we can say it is a framework of solving problems.

                                                                                                                    INFORMATION LITERACY PROCESS FRAMEWORK:
