"Mobile information literacy: a preliminary outline of information behaviour in a mobile environment"
I think that the capability of searching for info online on the go has completely changed the definition of what it means to be information literate. It has braodened the opportunities to learn how to search for information online, and has made it so that more people are experienced in online searching. I think that a big part of being information literate is to know how to be specific with the words you use to search. The more specific you are, the quicker you'll get the info you need. It's great that you no longer have to be sitting in a particular place to get information. If I had a dime for every time that being able to google something from my phone has helped me out of jams. . .
i completely agree with you being able to quickly search for something online is easier and faster now a days. the thing we all need to learn about is how to use specific words that will narrow down the search to the sepecific information we are looking for.
