A summit held at the University of Washington on February 8, 1999 discussed information and technology literacy. This web site summarizes the presentations and discussions which took place and serves as a host for further resources.

Information and Technology Literacy-Time to Get Serious at the University of Washington, in Seattle, and Beyond.

There's widespread agreement that:
  • we live in an increasingly complex information world
  • information anxiety is the norm
  • success today requires a new set of basic skills - skills associated with information and technology for a range of uses.
