ABSTRACT

Juwaireah C. Buanding and Norpaida A Daud, Bachelor of Science in

Social Work, conducted and submitted a thesis paper entitled “Assessment on

College Students Information Literacy in North Central Minadanao College”

for the year 2015-2016.

This study investigates the daily information needs of the students, how

they find information and how they evaluate the information. Results show

that college students searching for information sources do some criteria in

evaluating the reliability and credibility of the sources. Students also realized

that web resources were potentially unreliable. Being information literate is

very important nowadays. Information can be found and accessed in various

format, thus there is a need to educate individuals in determining which and

when information is needed. They should possess the ability to access,

locate, use, and evaluate information effectively and efficiently.
