“The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge so badly that they seek it while the conditions are still unfavorable. Favorable conditions never come.” ~ C. S. Lewis
INTRODUCTION
Information is power. And, it is the core requisite to construct knowledge. In this knowledge era, people who can locate information quickly are considered to be more knowledgeable than those who carry information with them. There is a clear shift in the definition of ‘knowledge’. Hence, mastering search skills is one of the most important skills in today’s workplace.
Here are a few interesting facts (adapted from various research reports) related to the amount of time that we spend searching for information on the World Wide Web (WWW):
Google is the most visited web site in the world. 43.78% of Internet users visit Google daily. Any particular visitor visits Google 13.5 times in a given day; he/she stays on Google for 12:02 minutes.
