Resource Center Abstract

December 19th, 2006

For my new “Research is Hard” thought process, I’m going to take a good look at this:

“Many students may have only limited knowledge about how to effectively evaluate online resources and use them appropriately. This student perspective on information literacy uses anecdotes, personal examples, and statistics on Net Generation Web usage to highlight gaps in students’ net savviness. The author also discusses how faculty, librarians, administrators, and students must work together to close those gaps.”

For those interested, one of my last pieces for Public Libraries was entitled “Research is Hard”. Take a look if the phrase interests you. I’m probably one of the few “young” librarians who thinks that research is the most important thing in libraries these days, especially in academia and corporate settings.

I’m just sayin’ (article link via)

Updated – I crossed out the last part of this post. What an idiotic thing to write. Note to self: remember to stop blogging after 10:30PM.
