Information Competency is the ability to recognize the need for information, know where to obtain information, and then choose the proper source and retrieve appropriate information. Once that is done, then it is necessary to organize, analyze, and synthesize the information. Finally, a person must then use and communicate that information.
A rapidly changing environment is characteristic of today's life. Information competent people have learned how to learn. They know how information is organized, how to find information and how to use information in such a way that others can learn from them. To me, having information competency is very important because if people have it, then they are people prepared for lifelong learning because they can always find the information needed for any task or decision that presents itself.
I feel that I am an information competent student and after this course is over, I will continue to improve your information competency skills by keeping up with the latest reference tools and websites.
