Information Literacy (Laboratory)

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

Knowledge is very powerful. With us being knowledgeable, we can use it in all aspects of our life. With knowledge, we can survive life. Knowledge is limitless.A person can learn every day and with knowledge we have the power of solving problems. Through the power of knowledge, development and progress in our world would be possible.

How does information become knowledge?

Information becomes knowledge when we can make meaning of that information.

Only when we can truly understand the information, it then becomes knowledge.

It is when we are able to incorporate it to our mind and understand the information and use it. When experience and competence is added to the information it will then become knowledge.

Importance of giving credit

to the source of one’s work

The importance of giving credit is that it is the right thing to do as a person. When we give credit, it reflects ourselves us a righteous person. Another thing, it is important also to give credit so that information can be verified and validated. When it is verified and validated, it can be refined more to provide and share information with others. Most importantly, we give credit so that we will not be accused of plagiarism and suffer the consequences of plagiarizing.
