The first tip of this spring semester deals with the information literacy of the so-called "Google Generation." A new report from the British Library and England's Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) indicates that kids born since 1993 aren't quite as adept online as they are often portrayed to be. The report explores a number of myths related to these students (myth #1: students are expert searchers), and provides some interesting findings (this generation prefers visual information over text, and is constantly multi-tasking).

The full post, including a link to the original report, is available here.
