“What’s for dinner?” Seems like a simple question. But do you really know… - What happens to a field of potatoes destined to become french fries … or- In how many disguises corn sneaks into your food? (Hint: it’s in your soda, your burger, and that Twinkie!) - Do you know what that “organic” sticker on your banana actually means … or- Where the chicken in your nugget grew up?

Do you know the secrets behind what you eat? In this book, you’ll go undercover at the supermarket.

(2010). Tutorial for Info Power. Information Literacy - Home. What is Information Literacy? Information Literacy is the ability to identify what information is needed, understand how the information is organized, identify the best sources of information for a given need, locate those sources, evaluate the sources critically, and share that information. It is the knowledge of commonly used research techniques. Information literacy is critically important because we are surrounded by a growing ocean of information in all formats. Not all information is created equal: some is authoritative, current, reliable, but some is biased, out of date, misleading, false.

The amount of information available is going to keep increasing. The types of technology used to access, manipulate, and create information will likewise expand. Information literacy skills are used for academic purposes, such as research papers and group presentations.

Felder & Soloman: Learning Styles and Strategies. Richard M. Felder Hoechst Celanese Professor of Chemical Engineering North Carolina State University Barbara A. Soloman Coordinator of Advising, First Year College North Carolina State University Active learners tend to retain and understand information best by doing something active with it--discussing or applying it or explaining it to others. Everybody is active sometimes and reflective sometimes.

How can active learners help themselves? If you are an active learner in a class that allows little or no class time for discussion or problem-solving activities, you should try to compensate for these lacks when you study. How can reflective learners help themselves? If you are a reflective learner in a class that allows little or no class time for thinking about new information, you should try to compensate for this lack when you study. Sensing learners tend to like learning facts, intuitive learners often prefer discovering possibilities and relationships. Head. Blogs.mcpherson.edu/library/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Library-of-the-Living-Dead-Online-Edition.pdf. How We Know by Freeman Dyson. The Information: A History, a Theory, a Flood by James Gleick Pantheon, 526 pp., $29.95 James Gleick’s first chapter has the title “Drums That Talk.” It explains the concept of information by looking at a simple example.

Sadly, the drum language was only understood and recorded by a single European before it started to disappear. Carrington understood how the structure of the Kele language made drum language possible. In 1954 a visitor from the United States came to Carrington’s mission school. The story of the drum language illustrates the central dogma of information theory. Another example illustrating the central dogma is the French optical telegraph. The distance between neighbors was about seven miles.

Unlike the drum language, which was based on spoken language, the optical telegraph was based on written French. After these two historical examples of rapid communication in Africa and France, the rest of Gleick’s book is about the modern development of information technology.
