Collecting
Information
Whether you are conducting
academic or professional research,
working to solve a problem, or
trying to make an informed decision,
information is crucial. The ability to
strategically collect information is a
skill that will serve you well.
●Knowledge.
Information can help you
understand the fuller picture of
the situation you are
researching or the magnitude
of the problem you are trying
to address. Data can help to
fill in the details and ground
your understanding in reality.
● Credibility.
Information can help
ground your ideas,
opinions, and research
with reliable facts and
figures. Such data is
especially important in
communicating with
clients, possible donors,
instructors, or colleagues.
 ● Awareness can
lead to change.
By sharing and contextualizing data
for your audience—whether they are
your colleagues, your clients, your
classmates, or your friends and family
—you can empower others with
knowledge. This knowledge, in turn,
can lead to positive change.
