We re entering a new phase of the information age.
Online access is ubiquitous.
The term search engine has become a household word. Many people have become skilled with Boolean logic and other advanced search techniques. Now that information retrieval skills have increased, we can focus on evaluating the online information we find, which is at least an equally important skill. And, of course, much information on the Internet isn t reliable. Traditional newspapers rely on editors to determine the accuracy and overall quality of their articles.
