FOLLOWING IN YOUR OWN
UNDERSTANDING
• Information and information literacy
• Stages / elements of information literacy

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
1. Define the meaning of the statement.
2. Connect Information Literacy to the statement on the board.
Knowledge is an important aspect of human life that leads to activities that contribute
to one gaining wealth, influence, and power.
3. How does information become knowledge?
Knowledge is the appropriate collection of information through experience or
education, which could be useful in various situations.

ETHICAL USE OF
INFORMATION
•“There are times when you need to share information that you have acquired from
various sources written by different authors. It is inevitable to directly quote their
words in order to preserve their meaning. However, quoting someone else's words
without giving credit to the author essentially gives an impression that you are
claiming ownership of the words they have said. This is called plagiarism.”
•Plagiarism: Using other people’s words and ideas without clearly acknowledging the
source of the information
•Common Knowledge: Facts that can be found in numerous places and are likely to
be widely known.
•Example: John F. Kennedy was elected President of the United States in 1960. This
is generally known information. You do not need to document this fact
•Interpretation: You must document facts that are not generally known, or ideas that
interpret facts.
- Example: Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player ever to have played the
game. This idea is not a fact but an interpretation or an opinion. You need to cite the
source.
•Quotation: Using someone’s words directly. When you use a direct quote, place the
passage between quotation marks, and document the source according to a standard
documenting style.
- Example: According to John Smith in The New York Times, “37% of all children
under the age of 10 live below the poverty line”. You need to cite the source.

•Interpretation: You must document facts that are not generally known, or ideas that interpret facts.
- Example: Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player ever to have played the game. This idea is
not a fact but an interpretation or an opinion. You need to cite the source.
•Quotation: Using someone’s words directly. When you use a direct quote, place the passage between
quotation marks, and document the source according to a standard documenting style.
- Example: According to John Smith in The New York Times, “37% of all children under the age of
10 live below the poverty line”. You need to cite the source.
•Paraphrase: Using someone’s ideas, but rephrasing them in your own words. Although you will use
your own words to paraphrase, you must still acknowledge and cite the source of the information.
•Plagiarism has legal implications.
- While ideas themselves are not copyrightable, the artistic expression of an idea automatically falls
under copyright when it is created. Under fair use, small parts may be copied without permission from
the copyright holder. However, even under fair use - in which you can use some parts of the material
for academic or non-profit purposes - you must attribute the original source. What is considered fair
use is rather subjective and can vary from country to country.
STRATEGIES IN AVOIDING
PLAGIARISM
• Submit your own work for publication. You need to cite even your own work.
• Put quotation marks around everything that comes directly from the text and cite the source.
• Paraphrase, but be sure that you are not simply rearranging or replacing a few words and cite the
source.
• Keep a source journal, a notepad, or note cards- annotated bibliographies can be especially
beneficial
• Use the style manual in properly citing sources
• Get help from the writing center or library
“State the importance of giving credit to the source of one’s work. Elaborate your answer.”

ACADEMIC FIELD TRIP
1. Form groups of seven to ten members. Assign a leader and an assistant leader to facilitate the
group.
2. “Your group is tasked to plan an academic trip. List pertinent information on two possible
destinations (somewhere in the country or abroad)”.
3. To present valid and reliable information, do the following:
● Identify the information needed – what, where, who, when, why, how.
● Determine all the possible sources, select the best sources – the world wide web, travel guide
books, brochures, maps and atlases, tour bureaus, family members, and friends.
● Locate and find information within the sources – blogs, travel reviews, posts from social
networking sites, travel features, pictures, stories, and testimonials.
● Extract the best relevant information and cite pertinent sources
