Competent (basic): I can look for information using a search engine (e.g. Google), and am aware that not all online information is reliable. I can download and save materials that I find.

I know how to collate and share resources (using bookmarking tools, for example) and am aware of copyright and plagiarism issues.

Confident (advanced): I can confidently use advanced search tools for library systems and online repositories, and track down specific information or resources. I understand copyright restrictions, am aware of alternative rights models such as Creative Commons, and can (or know how to) publish and effectively share materials online.
