Read the passage given below, and answer the Questions that follow based on your understanding of the passage :

The growth of the Internet and its ubiquitous use in study and work creates new areas of concern. Town (2003) notes the problem of information illiteracy within higher education:

Students are relying uniformly on the web and show a lack of understanding about the resources available to them “because all the information is in the same place”. The web may have “changed everything” but in doing so it has created a new problem of information illiteracy; that of false confidence in the Internet as a complete information resource (Town, 2003).

There is such a proliferation of content across such a range of areas, available with such immediacy that the sheer volume of information can seem overwhelming. For sufferers of this “Information anxiety” the simplicity of the Google search interface must act as a claiming tonic. It is not demanding of the information seeker in the formation of search terms and almost always produces vast numbers of hits. It even helps out with your spelling.

Faced with such a bewildering array of electronic sources of information the ease and immediacy of retrieval becomes as important as the quality of the resources retrieved. This may be the most significant challenge to the information profession in the information society, to map and signpost the information landscape. This has been the traditional role of the librarian and whilst the information domain is changing the core principles of the profession remain as important to society as ever.

The growth of the Internet and its ubiquitous use in study and work creates new areas of concern. The most important one being information illiteracy in higher education.

The growth of the Internet enables people pursuing higher education. Information literate helps them in their study and work

nternet use in higher education promotes information literacy and provides complete information resource.

Students who use the Internet gain real confidence in the Internet as a complete information source.

Read the passage given below, and answer the Questions that follow based on your understanding of the passage :

The growth of the Internet and its ubiquitous use in study and work creates new areas of concern. Town (2003) notes the problem of information illiteracy within higher education:

Information once recorded into the web remains static and can be utilized by the users of the web as and when they need it.

The Web may have “changed everything”, but in doing so it has created a new problem of information illiteracy; that of false confidence in the internet as a complete information resource.

The student of higher education may rely completely on Internet resources.

Students who completely rely on the Internet uniformly do not lack understanding about the resources available to them.

Read the passage given below, and answer the Questions that follow based on your understanding of the passage :

The growth of the Internet and its ubiquitous use in study and work creates new areas of concern. Town (2003) notes the problem of information illiteracy within higher education:

The large volume of content available on Internet across a range of areas does not create any “Information anxiety” in the users of the Internet.

Information available on the Web across subject areas is of manageable proportions and does not bewilder the users of the Internet.

There is proliferation of content across such range of areas, available with such immediacy that the sheer volume of information can seem overwhelming. ..... and may cause “Information anxiety”.

It is easy to find relevant and useful information across a range of areas from the web without getting oneself bewildered.

Read the passage given below, and answer the Questions that follow based on your understanding of the passage :

The growth of the Internet and its ubiquitous use in study and work creates new areas of concern. Town (2003) notes the problem of information illiteracy within higher education:

The most significant challenge to the information profession in information society is to map and signpost the information landscape. This has been the traditional role of the librarian and whilest the information domain is changing the core principles of the profession remain as important to society.

The Internet does not pose significant challenges to the information profession.

The role of librarians is not to map and signpost the information landscape.

While the information domain is changing the core principles of the profession also should change.

Read the passage given below, and answer the Questions that follow based on your understanding of the passage :

The growth of the Internet and its ubiquitous use in study and work creates new areas of concern. Town (2003) notes the problem of information illiteracy within higher education:

Retrieving pertinent information from the Internet is not demanding of the information seeker in the formulation of search terms and almost always produces vast number of hits.

There is no user friendly search engine to help the information seeker to access pertinent information necessary for his work.

The quality of information retrieved from the Internet is of high precision and does not pose problems to the user.

‘Information anxiety’ created by the bewildering nature of Internet is made simple by the user friendly quality associated with Google search interface. This interface acts as a tonic and helps the information seeker even with spelling.
