IDIS 110 Information Literacy

Assignment 1:
Try to identify the3 pictures in your group and answer the questions below them. All photos were taken in Baltimore.

The purpose of this assignment is to think about how we go about searching for information and how we might find clues to help us with our searches. Some of these may be very difficult if you don't recognize the picture immediately. Don't spend too much time with any one picture, although please consider how you might be able to discover the answer if you had more time. The important thing is to think about how you went about your search, as this will be the topic of our class discussion on Wednesday.
