The widespread availability and use of search engines such as Google has given rise to a new type of scholar – the “digital scholar”- whose primary information sources are found online. You’ll find an enlightening, comprehensive analysis of the evolving nature of information search behavior, and a variety of crucial international research evidence to present a unique, generation-based analysis of information search behaviors.
"This text explores the implications of changing information and communications technologies for learning, particularly in the context of higher education. It focuses on whether a distinctive generation of information seekers and users has emerged whom take radically different mental approaches in their information search strategies. After examining the evidence, it considers the implications for information providers."
