The World Wide Web is only feasible as a practical proposition because of the existence of hypermedia search engines. These search engines face a monumental challenge. They are routinely confronted with searching behaviour best characterised as unsophisticated and impatient. One popular explanation for poor querying technique is lack of computer literacy. Individuals who work closely with Information Technology are frequently exposed to retrieval engines, giving them the opportunity to develop successful searching strategies. In the following paper, we examine this assumption - is there really a correlation between computer literacy and searching skill. |
