Acknowledgments
Editing and publishing a volume of this size has involved the intellectual input of many scholars. This book would not have been possible without the dedication of all the writers who come from different parts of the globe to advance research into new literacies, learning and information practices. Each chapter in this volume was subjected to a double-blind peer-review process. We sincerely thank the reviewers, named below, who lent their expertise and provided insightful and detailed comments to each author. We thank Professor Eero Sormunen and the Web-SeaL research project (Academy of Finland, 2006-2009), a collaboration between educational scientists and information scientists, which provided important inspiration for the book project. Finally, we would like to thank the staff at the Centre for Information Studies at Charles Sturt University who provided assistance with the final production of the volume.
