Know How Helps You Know How!
As a result of the Internet and the World Wide Web, people have access to more information now than ever before in the history of humankind. Over 90% of this information is digital in nature and stored on hard disk drives. The Internet has unleashed the mind of humanity producing an environment where too many voices, too many resources, and so much conflicting data places a tremendous burden of understanding and critical thinking on the part of YOU!- the information consumer.
This website is dedicated to help you - in the best way we know how - to make the most of the Library's information resources and to understand the basic concepts of research and information literacy. In other words, to make you the best student you can be!
“…the wealth of information means a dearth of something else; a scarcity of whatever it is that information consumes. What information consumes is rather obvious, it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.”
