Do you take care of your digital identities? 
Is the net your first choice? 
Do you check your email every night? 
Do you use USB and local disks? 
Do you never gloogled your name? 
Is the newspaper or a call your first choice? 
Have you chatted with a relative just once? 
Do you never remember your email? 
Do you have no idea about Dropbox, email, USB or others?

5 main words

http://www.writteninstone.org/images/WISphoto.jpg
Five basic words 
1.Mediation. The focus is now on the practice, not in documents. 
2.Curation. Resources are already available. The problem is to locate the appropriate ones. 
3.Need analysis. Users are much more diverse, so we need tools to analyse interests and motivations (enquiries, tests, interviews). 
4.Local content. Everything is on the net, except the most local, that belongs to the users. 
5.Out of school. We must pay attention “outside” (the curriculum, catalogue, cannon or other “official sides”).
