This paper provides a conceptual discussion of the critical and information literacies that underpin the effective integration of Internet based information into leaming. The analysis and documentation of a case study of classroom use of the Internet during a class research assignment is provided to highlight the importance of developing these critical literacies. The paper recognizes the substantial contribution of Celeste McNicholas, Director of Information Services at Marist Sisters' College, Woolwich, Sydney where the case study was undertaken.
