Information literacy
Learning how to find and use relevant, high-quality information will make you more employable. Organisations in every sector of the economy increasingly look for these skills in new recruits. The most progressive organisations include information literacy among a set of key skills that all employees are required to demonstrate or develop. An information literate employee:
- recognises when information is needed;
- can locate information;
- can evaluate information;
- recognises when s/he has found enough information;
- makes effective use of the information gathered.
Information is increasingly abundant. An information illiterate employee wastes time and costs her/his employee money.
