Information Literacy is
knowing how to find, evaluate, and use information.
When doing research for a report, you MUST cite the source you are using. This means that you must list the books, encyclopedias, magazines, websites, etc. that you use to locate information that is new to you.
REMEMBER: You may NEVER copy or cut and paste someone else's words and use them as your own.
Some sites that may be helpful in creating a BIBLIOGRAPHY.
