Information possesses several dimensions of value, including as a commodity, as a means of education, as a means to influence, and as a means of negotiating and understanding the world. Legal and socioeconomic interests influence information production and dissemination. - Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education
HOW TO INCORPORATE INFORMATION HAS VALUE? Lead students to appreciate that information is valuable as a commodity in and of itself, as a way to educate, and also as a means to influence. Set an example of properly attributing sources and expect students to do the same (and not simply to avoid plagiarism). Have students engage different aspects of intellectual property rights, such as copyright, open access, fair use and public domain, and the role we all play in shaping how each is viewed and implemented. Press students to make informed choices about their actions online in full awareness of privacy implications. Consider: In what ways does your discipline embrace or reject notions of intellectual property rights?
