Information Assistant Android App

Information Assistant is a simple app to help teach information literacy skills. It primarily provides simplified access to findingDulcinea resources. It also includes the content of our Information Literacy Toolkit for homeschoolers and librarians. The toolkit provides a lesson unit for explaining search engines specifically and how to conduct research generally. It should take one to two hours to present, and the material is suitable for both youth and adults.

Currently, it is only available for Android phones and tablets. The Android Market page is https://market.android.com/details?id=org.ntlp.infoassist.mobile. The apk file can also be downloaded from this page for those devices that do not use the market. The original source code is also available as a zipped Titanium project.
