Throughout their lives, successful people use information to make decisions, solve
problems and communicate more effectively. Based on information literacy standards,
this series helps students learn to navigate our complex, information-rich world
through the development of critical research skills and the ability to access,
evaluate and use information. This engaging and informational series was
developed with Joyce Kasman Valenza, a practicing librarian and authority
on issues relating to research and information literacy. It includes skills
such as how to focus and refine a research question, how to access information
on the invisible Web, how to synthesize information throughout the research
process and how to communicate new knowledge most effectively. Each program
encourages students to be critically aware of their sources, processes and
products as they solve genuine research and information problems.

Using someone else’s words, ideas or artistic creations without acknowledgement
is plagiarism — and whether it’s deliberate or unintentional, it can have serious
consequences. Plagiarism can be avoided by understanding how to organize time and
research notes; quote, paraphrase and summarize information; and properly document
and cite sources. By following these practices correctly, students not only steer
clear of plagiarism but also achieve the academic integrity that comes with creating
a successful project with their own thoughts and ideas.

Finding the right answers and best available research means knowing how to evaluate
information. What are the author’s credentials? Is he or she credible? Is the
information accurate and relevant to the focus or question? Is the information
up to date? At every stage of the research process, exploring these questions
leads to sources that result in success. Mastering the skills of evaluation means
a lifetime of having the best information for making decisions in today’s information age.

We live in a world saturated with media: a constant stream of words, pictures and
sounds, surrounding us every day and influencing our thoughts and actions. Media
literacy is the ability to understand these messages and make informed decisions
by learning to access, analyze, evaluate and even create various forms of media.
By examining examples from the advertising, news, entertainment and political
arenas, students will discover many techniques and motives behind media messages,
and how to develop their own interpretations and opinions.

A successful research project depends on evaluating, analyzing and selecting
information; developing and refining a thesis; and using quotes effectively to
support an argument. The key to tying together solid sources, credible facts and
supporting details into a cohesive and effective product is organization. By
understanding how to synthesize at every stage of the research process and
maximize the use of graphic organizers, students will understand how to
ultimately create a new set of ideas in their own voice.

Whether presented orally, in print or via multimedia, all effective
presentations possess thoughtful content, a solid structure and an
appropriate format for the target audience. From research papers to
persuasive speeches, preparing a presentation is a continuing process
of analyzing, evaluating and organizing information – tailored and delivered
in a way that makes the greatest impact on the audience.

Billions of pieces of online information from all forms of media – Web sites,
books, newspapers, audio and video – are all just a click away. It can seem
impossible to sort through it all to find what we need. Successful Internet
searching is strategic Internet searching – selecting the best methods and
tools to find answers to our questions. Using both the free Web and the
invisible Web, students will learn how to focus, strategize, refine and
evaluate their research throughout the search process. From formulating a
solid query to understanding when and how to best use search engines,
metasearch engines, subject directories, portals and subscription databases,
access to the world – or, at least, the World Wide Web – is within easy reach.
