Use of Web in Tertiary Research and Education
Journal Title: Webology - Year 2007, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The increasing level of official and academic information on Aboriginal issues on the Web enhances its utility in research and teaching. Aboriginal communities can also share Indigenous knowledges and perspectives, disseminate information to other indigenous communities and access the benefits of the knowledge society by adopting ICT. The use of search engines can save time in research and reveal trends in policy perspectives reflected by language.
