Information Formats Are Meaningful

People create information for a variety of purposes. There is no “one size fits all” format for their creations. Creators choose a format that will make sense to those receiving the information. Each type of source may have value to you—depending on the circumstances. For example, to get personal updates on your friends isn’t going to work for the research you’ve been assigned by one of your professors. These resources will help you to think more deeply about information formats and their best uses.
