Savvy Citizens: 80% of Brits are not ‘information savvy citizens’

80% of Brits are not ‘information savvy citizens’ from the Information World Review

"Only 20% of Britons are information “savvy citizens” – citizens who not only know how to access information but also know how to use information and information technology to their advantage"

The Chartered Institute for IT, the BCS, commissioned the research and have created a new web microsite - Savvycitizens.bcs.org, "It is hoped people will contribute to the site and share their knowledge."

As well as the micro-site, there is also a Twitter stream @SavvyCitizens [http://www.twitter.com/savvycitizens], and a quiz at: http://apps.facebook.com/savvycitizensquiz/.
