Information Literacy Program
Information literacy is considered as one of the 21st century skills necessary for students to succeed in this knowledge-based society. To be information literate, one must acquire the ability not only to locate information but also to evaluate and use effectively the information found. Instead of drowning in the abundance of information that are available, an information literate individual knows when to use the information effectively to solve a problem or to make a decision, whether the information comes from a book, a film, the Internet, or any other possible sources.
Through the combination of knowledge as well as a variety of instructional techniques and strategies, the EMC were able to create modules to motivate the students to utilize effectively the resources and services from various sources such as online sources, including virtual libraries.
The ILP course has been modified to fit to the needs of students in an online learning set-up. The topics normally conducted per grade levels were shifted into an adaptive design. The course focuses on teaching various library tools and reference sources as well as how to evaluate information found on different sources. Another topic that is given emphasis is the concept of intellectual property rights, including strategies on how to avoid plagiarism.
The modules are designed asynchronously and are presented in Youtube videos, Google Slides, and PDF formats. It is suggested that each module is taken sequentially, however topics can be taken independently.

There are a lot of information that you can use for your research. Each information format presents information in a different way and with a different purpose. By being able to recognize these different formats, you will be able to create a well-rounded research project.
A good research came from credible sources. Not all information, particularly online, are tailored-fit for academic research, thus it is your responsibility as student to identify good scholarly sources.
The CRAAP Test is a handy checklist to use when evaluating a web resource (or ANY resource). The test provides a list of questions to ask yourself when deciding whether or not a source is reliable and credible enough to use in your academic research paper.
Netiquette (net + etiquette) is the “code of conduct” applied to online spaces. When you are communicating with other people online, you are missing body language cues and immediate feedback from your “listener”.
