Information Literacy

Let's start with the definition of Information Literacy. It means a set of skills that helps [because we don't mark gender or number in English that/which, they tend to refer back to the nearest noun: skills instead of set. Plus I think the word skills makes more sense as the subject of the clause anyway.] people navigate through information overload. Information Literacy comprises four main components:
1) Authority is constructed and contextual. It's about how important it is to identify source reliability, which often depends on the context of the information and respect intellectual property.
2) Information has value. Information serves as means of education; it can influence people all over the world.
3) Scholarship as conversation. Every single scientist has her [Nowadays we tend to pluralize to avoid making the choice his/her, but it's becoming common practice to use her or even their with any singular noun like this. In this context, own must have a possessive adjective in front of it.] own point of view and contributes new insights to an ongoing conversation about some problem. It's important to recognize that scholars will offer different ideas and pay tribute to them when quoting from their works.
4) Searching as strategic exploration. Effective researching [researching is OK, but I would use just research] consists of certain [ I'm not exactly sure if you mean by "certain" particular or sure/definite, but certain strategy isn't right. I think maybe a clear strategy or a precise strategy, but I don't know what you meant.] strategy: forming key words, awareness of what you really need to find, etc.
Also, it's important to mention that while looking through any articles in the Internet we should ask ourselves three questions:
who is the author? Where did the article come from? Is it credible? First give the answers, don't rush immediately and blindly share fake and doubtful information.
As a result, we can estimate evaluate it the information we find as trustworthy or not. That's the process of literate searching of information.
