The point of this

My thoughts are that faculty members play a crucial role in promoting and sharing information literacy practices, even as they share professional practices.

Research is a fundamental aspect of higher education, and information literacy skills are crucial for conducting effective research. Faculty members can teach students how to formulate research questions, access relevant resources, critically analyze information. By sharing information literacy practices, faculty members empower students to become proficient researchers. And through better research faculty can instill a sense of academic integrity in their students. Information literacy practices go hand in hand with academic integrity, as they emphasize the importance of properly attributing sources and avoiding plagiarism. Faculty members can educate students about the ethical use of information, proper citation techniques, and the consequences poor research

So we needed to define information, because next up, we need to talk about information literacy.
