NFAIS WEBINAR: The Information Behavior of the Researcher of the Future:  A
Look at New Survey Results

 

Want to learn more about the information behavior of the next generation of
scholars and researchers? Join NFAIS in a 90-minute webinar on Wednesday,
June 20th (11:00am - 12:30pm EDST) to hear the just-released results of a
three-year study on the behavior of the 'Generation Y' scholar (students
born between 1982 -1994) currently studying for a PhD in the UK. Sponsored
by the British Library and JISC and to be released this month, the study
will examine students' activities and habits in online and physical research
environments, as well as their use of print and digital library information
resources.  

 

The webinar will feature Julie Carpenter, Founder and Director of Education
for Change, who served as Project Director for the study. She will discuss
the results of the study on the following issues:

 

*	Emerging research behaviour trends across diverse subject discipline
*	How doctoral scholars from Generation Y seek information both on and
offline
*	The relative use of digital resources and physical resources,
including research spaces
*	How Generation Y students search for and use digital content for
research
*	Generation Y adoption and use of emerging technologies for
information access and use
