In your 5-page submission (not counting the cover page), briefly address the three questions about downsizing, then (in the same document) create a bibliography of the nine peer-reviewed academic journal articles that includes a reference followed by not less than a half page paragraph describing the article in your own words, repeating the process until all nine references are inserted and discussed.

No reference page is needed for this assignment because the references are a part of the Bibliography. Please read the Emphasized Grading Rubric for Information Literacy before submitting your paper. Submit the assignment by inserting it into the appropriate drop box by the due date and time.
Assignment Expectations
Information Literacy Assessed
In MGT301 (Principles of Management) information literacy was assessed at the “introduced level.” At the “reinforced level”, the MGT411 Case 1 took information literacy a step further by closely examining the sources utilized. Now, at the “emphasized” level, in this Case 3, you will find, select, and incorporate the most effective sources of information, giving special attention to the quality of sources utilized.
The skills needed in these assignments build upon each other and aim to offer you the opportunity to enhance and practice your information literacy skills.
The grading rubric for information literacy at the undergraduate level has been developed to measure student success in meeting the MGT491 Case 3 expectations related to information literacy.
Your assignment submission should be 5 pages, and will be assessed on:
Determine the extent of information needed
Access the needed information
Evaluate information and its sources critically
Use information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose
Access and use information ethically and legally
Timeliness
