Trang 23Why is Information Literacy important?
"Information is the new world currency and wealth will be measured by how much
information a company, individual, or country can create, distribute,
accumulate, and mine."
Mark Dean, PhD , IBM Fellow,
Inventors Hall of Fame
Cartoon by Bill Waterson
Trang 24According to ALA, information literacy is “increasingly important in the contemporary environment of rapid technological change and
proliferating information resources…”
“Information literacy forms the basis for lifelong learning and is common to all disciplines, to all learning environments, and to all levels of
Trang 25What is Information Literacy?
“Information” is from Latin
informatio, meaning concept
Trang 26Kent State Library Research: TRAILS
Boswell (2007) TRAILS study:
Greatest weaknesses of students in evaluation of information and in using Boolean
search techniques.
Little time spent in evaluating information, either for relevance, accuracy or authority
Poor understanding of information needs so students find it difficult to develop effective

Trang 28OCLC Research: College Students
89% of college students use search engines to begin an information
search (2% start from library Web site)
93% satisfied with using a search engine (compared with 84% for
librarian-assisted search)
College students still use the library, but less (and reading less)
Books still primary library brand, despite investment in digital
resources, of which students are largely unfamiliar.

Trang 29INFORMATION NEEDS STUDENTS = YOU
student’s main information need is to find
relevant and accurate information on the
research topic and to relate these in a
literature review to establish its originality and to put the proposed research in context
research method
infrastructure (reference materials, user
guides, journals, book series etc.)
Trang 30INFORMATION NEEDS TEACHERS/LECTURERS
knowledge on a given topic = finding related research papers to extend your knowledge
materials and research papers

Trang 31A RESEARCHER WITHOUT UP-TO-DATE RESEARCH
INFORMATION
To spend time solving problems that may
already have solutions
Claiming originality for what has already
been discovered and
Making errors that have been
well-documented elsewhere
Papers which result from research
undertaken without access to needed
information are probably unacceptable for
publication in the highly rated refereed
journals
Trang 33BOOLEAN OPERATORS
“And” operator:
retrieves records that include both terms
narrows your search
used for terms or concepts that are not related
“Or” operator:
retrieves records that include either of the terms:
Broadens your search
Used for related terms or concept
“Not” operator:
retrieves records that include one term but not another term; eliminates all the records containing the second term
Narrows your search
May eliminate relevant records
Trang 34 Research Tip: As a general rule, your search
retrieval is greater when using truncation But, be careful, because you might find records with an unexpected variation of your search term.
Examples:
mode*ing : will find modelling and modeling
cartograph* will find cartographic, cartography, cartographical
plan* will find plan, plans, planning

Trang 46WHY LEARN HOW TO CRITICALLY READ A SCIENTIFIC PAPER?
Tremendous amount of high-quality research results available via bibliographic databases
Textbooks are at least five years behind the state-of-the-art
You must be able to understand the latest developments, and extract what you need for your own work
From: Locate to comprehend to evaluate (technical) information
M Th Koelen Head Department Embedded Information Services 03/28/19 46
Trang 47WHAT CAN YOU GET OUT OF A RESEARCH PAPER?
Three steps, increasing difficulty:
1 Comprehension of what the authors are saying;
2 Evaluation of their claims;
3 Synthesis and motivation for your own research.
Trang 48 The specialized vocabulary may be unfamiliar
The advanced or specialized methods may be unfamiliar (well beyond textbooks)
The writing is compact
The audience is experienced research scientists with a knowledge of the field covered by the journal;
Research papers are fairly comprehensive (“deep”), requiring a good
Trang 49KEY TECHNIQUE
You don’t have to understand everything
Find what you need by skimming then going deep as needed
Skim by following the paper’s structure
Trang 50READ THE TITLE
“Hyperion, IKONOS, ALI, and ETM+ sensors in the study of African rainforests”
Here we see:
Names of sensors;
geographic area of application;
thematic area of application.
This is already something! We can decide if the paper is at all relevant
M Th Koelen Head Department Embedded Information Services 03/28/19 50
Trang 51READ THE KEYWORDS
African rainforests;
Biomass models; Carbon flux;
Hyperion; IKONOS; ALI; ETM+; Most sensitive Hyperion bands;
Hyperion vegetation indices
Accuracy assessments;
Broadbands; Narrowbands.
Some more specific concepts here (compared to the title)
Trang 52READ THE ABSTRACT
In less than 300 words the abstract covers
Rationale Why the work was done
Objectives What the work was intended to accomplish
Methods What was done to meet the objectives
Results What happened when the methods were applied
Conclusions What the authors conclude from the study
From here you can decide which sections are important to you
Note: Abstracts are available in research databases such as ScienceDirect even if the full-text is restricted.
M Th Koelen Head Department Embedded Information Services 03/28/19 52
Trang 53READ THE TOPIC SENTENCES
First sentences of a paragraph
Trang 54EXAMPLE TOPIC SENTENCES
In most papers the topic of the paragraph is given in in the first (“topic”) sentence
E.g.topic sentence is:
1.“The ETM+ 8-bit DNs were converted to radiances using the equation: “ this is what we were looking for
2 “This can also be expressed as: ” (another form of the equation)
The rest of the section has details of the application of these equations.
M Th Koelen Head Department Embedded Information Services 03/28/19 54
Trang 55EXAMPLE TOP LEVEL
The first-level headings are numbered from 1 – 7:
1 Introduction and rationale
2 Methods – field data collection
3 Methods – image processing
4 Methods – image data analysis
5 Results and discussion – use of images to predict biomass
6 Results and discussions – use of images to separate LULC classes
7 Conclusions
Trang 56EXAMPLE SECOND LEVEL
The second-level headings under 3 “Methods – image processing” are:
3.1 Data sets
3.2 Image rectification and registration
3.3 Normalization
Section 3.3 “Normalization” is likely to deal with making images comparable.
M Th Koelen Head Department Embedded Information Services 03/28/19 56
Trang 57EXAMPLE THIRD LEVEL
The third-level headings under 3.3 “Normalization” are:
3.3.1 Hyperion data to radiance
3.3.2 IKONOS data to radiance
3.3.3 ALI data to radiance
3.3.4 ETM+ data to radiance
3.3.5 Radiance to reflectance
3.3.6 Surface reflectance
Obviously, section 3.3.4 deals with the ETM+ sensor data.

Trang 60PURPOSE OF CITATIONS
1.To present definitions and concepts
2.To present opinions that are not yours and allow the reader to go back to the original and check if you correctly
summarized it
3.To present data and results that are not from your own research and allow readers of your work to find the original source if they want
4.To refer to previous work on your topic which places your study in its context

Trang 61PURPOSE OF CITATIONS
6 They refer to standard methods so that you don’t have to repeat them in your text
7 To provide detailed justification of mathematical or statistical methods and formulas, so you don’t have to derive
or defend them
8 To refer to other studies related to your results, with which you should compare, in your ‘Results’ chapter
9 To allow the reader of your work material to go deeper into a topic than was necessary for your purposes.
From: Research concepts and skills, April 2013 : Vol 2 Skills D Rossiter
Trang 62WHEN NOT TO USE A REFERENCE
1 If it’s your idea or result (e.g ‘On closer observation, it was obvious that the water samples all contained insect
larvae ’)
2 If the fact is known to any person with a relevant education (for the intended audience) (e.g ‘Satellite remote
sensing has an advantage over aerial photography: large areas are imaged all at once.’)
3 If the fact can be found in a standard secondary-school or general reference (e.g how to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle: 2x (length + width))
4 If the fact is more or less fixed and can be verified in many ways (e.g ‘Cuba is a Caribbean nation ’)
