Design/methodology/approach – An ethnographic study of a school class's project work was conducted through observations, interviews, and log books in blog form. The analysis was influenced by a socio-cultural perspective.
Findings – The study provides increased empirically based understanding of students' information literacy practices. Four non-exclusive approaches to credibility stemming from control, balance, commitment, and multiplicity were identified.
Originality/value – The study adds to the understanding of how credibility is assessed in school environments with a particular focus on how digital and participatory genres are treated. (Less)
