Supporting and measuring global information literacy through cross-cultural studies of web search.

In contrast to the earlier two abstracts, this work takes us into an informal learning environment within the developing world. Nevertheless, it is connected with the work in progress discussed in connection with Rose and Kam's abstract above in its focus on information literacy skills. It connects also with the work discussed in the Laferriere and Law abstract in its focus on the internet as an environment to support knowledge sharing and knowledge construction.
