This talk will focus on translators' information literacy, particularly related to how translators navigate the Web to seek information. 

Drawing on a selection of relevant conceptualisations from Human Computer Interaction (HCI), it presents a qualitative eye tracking-based methodology, gauging the behaviour and reasoning behind translators’ highly complex and context-dependent interaction with search engines and the Web.
