The Internet and university participation: The Sierra Leone experience

Abstract

To be information literate, one must be able to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and effectively use the needed information. Based on the concept that all people have a right to information to help them be successful in society, whether in business, citizenship, and levels of education, the Internet is gradually infiltrating in Sierra Leone. This article examines the introduction of the Internet in the University of Sierra Leone community.
