In this case, it's mostly about the additional perspectives on how learning works from the act of managing your information through various note-taking methods. I also restructured the note on org-babel and moved as its own note on the hierarchical notebook. I think summarizing a tool and giving my own comments about it is a nicer way of describing it. Plus, I can freely link between any other types of note so I figured it would be better. That said, I should be picky on how to make org-roam entries. And also org-roam v2 is better, after all. :)

Information literacy
The ability to search information, sort the results, verify for legitimacy, and share the information effectively. A very useful skill nowadays with the torrential amount of information available from a few keystrokes away. This includes making effective narrow searches, filtering through search results, knowing the bad from the good, and recording it somewhere in our library.
Having a sharp information literacy does not only mainly seen in technical fields like in research and academia (e.g., literature reviews, peer reviews) but also on everyday life as well. In fact, all of us practice it in some way. We use information literacy skills when we research for the laptop that brings the best value to our limited budget, verifying if the online seller is legitimate, or sharing certain information on our social media.
How to practice this skill?
- Prefer referencing over remembering — that is, learn to create effective narrow searches.
- Refer to advanced resources when skill-building for a solid short-term goal for an effective headstart.
- Learn effective Personal information management to capture relevant information and save time from searching the result.
