1. Introduction

Do you remember these earlier definitions for information?

INFORMATION = DATA + CONTEXT + MEANING

OR

Information is data which has been processed within a context in order to give it meaning

From these definitions, hopefully you know what information is, but you also need to understand about the sources from which information can be obtained.

There are two main sources of information that you need to know about - static information sources and dynamic information sources.

We will be looking at these more closely over the next few pages. Use the menu on the left-hand side to navigate through the theory.
