From Inside Higher Ed:
This is one of the sobering truths these librarians, representing a group of Illinois universities, have learned over the course of a two-year, five-campus ethnographic study examining how students view and use their campus libraries: students rarely ask librarians for help, even when they need it.
The most alarming finding in the ERIAL studies (http://www.erialproject.org/) was perhaps the most predictable: when it comes to finding and evaluating sources in the Internet age, students are downright lousy.
