Users in their Native Habitat

This was a fascinating presentation with two studies, one from the University of Guelph and one from ProQuest, both on university students. Although in both of these studies some stereotypes of Millenials were confirmed, it became clear that students, in general, understand the value of libraries over general web searching. They find library resources more daunting and harder to search, but more trustworthy. There is also a clear separation of purpose for social networking sites, as they are rarely used for academic purposes.
