Verification of Information and Evaluation of Approaches of Information Professionals in Accessing Accurate Information

Abstract

Accurate information for information professionals means recorded data that has integrity, validity, reliability, and authenticity. However, confidence in information sources can be pushed to the background when easily accessible and sensational information becomes so popular. It is often difficult even for professionals to decide on which content and which sources are credible. The chapter will describe the result of a survey of 236 information professionals that evaluated the personal and institutional communication and information acquisition environments, information searching behaviors, information and media literacy perspectives. The study looked at information requirements and information seeking behaviors, e-government services, citizenship issues, social and cultural activities and evaluated them within the framework of internet search engines, radio and television channels, social media, and information centers.
