2.Generation, communication and use of information

2. Generation, communication, and use of information
demonstrated by the ability to:
Understand how information is created, packaged, disseminated and used
Identify the impact and opportunities presented by changing information and communication technologies and media on the needs of information users
Understand the role of libraries in the information life cycle including dissemination through digitisation and other avenues.

This can be achieved by:
create catalogues of information using controlled vocabulary; Managing library home pages/ websites; add links from library home pages; manage catalogues on intranets; encourage staff to use blogs and web 2.0 etc. to create information. Relating training in doing this will help count too.
