Hi,
 
I thought this was an interesting article. I find it a bit
disheartening, though, that they don't present libraries and librarians,
who have been advocating information literacy for years, in a better
light.
 
New test would measure students' Web wisdom
 
...Cal State and a number of other colleges are working with ETS to
create a test to evaluate Internet intelligence, measuring whether
students can locate and verify reliable online information and whether
they know how to properly use and credit the material.
