Data are not information

"Data are not information. Information is data endowed with relevance and purpose. Knowledge is information endowed with application. Wisdom is knowledge endowed with age and experience."

from Ken Davenport, Northeast Iowa Regional Library System, in a letter printed in the May 1, 2002, Library Journal (v. 127, no. 8, p. 10).

John,

That is a great quotable quote which I intend to use in my classes this fall.
