Blog reflection 4

As I approach the last two weeks of Library competency class, I realize the wealth of information I have obtained. I now believe that I am information competent and I have learned and developed skills and tools I can utilize for the rest of my life. There will always be room for improvements, but in the future I can continue to be thorough in my search, make sure I use the most in depth, current and most credible information, to make for great research and information hunting.’

 Information Competency is the ability to:

• Recognize the need for information
• Know where to obtain information
• Choose the proper source and retrieve appropriate information
• Organize, analyze, and synthesize information
• Use and communicate information

These skills are very important for a student to have, keep and utilize, great resource tool, and will make school and work a lot easier. An information competent student should know how to do all of thee above anything less, the student is cheating themselves.
