Bawden, D. (2008). Information problems, digital literacy solutions. Paper presented at the International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction and Information Services, October 2008, Prague, Czech Republic.
Abstract
The increasing availability of large files of digital information, with ever-improving retrieval systems and interfaces, makes accessing information simpler and quicker than ever. Ironically, these improvements have brought with them a number of ‘information problems’; information overload, information anxiety, information avoidance, infobesity, and so on.
This talk reviews some of these problems, and suggests that ‘digital literacy’, a variant on the older idea of information literacy, may offer solutions.
