    There is a link to the PDF poster on this page:  "One poster session used Google tools to implement a frugal approach toward e-resource reservations. "E-Resource Renewal Awareness: Using Google Calendar to Bring Selectors on Board [PDF]," presented by Columbia University librarians Jeffrey Carroll, Colleen Major, and John Tofanelli, uses a Google Calendar-based system to track e-resource subscriptions-specifically, expenditures and renewal dates, which, as the poster points out, "are typically buried in acquisitions modules." Constructed around an off-the-shelf Google application, the project exemplifies how to use readily (and freely) available tools to tackle important tasks."

  • The prevalence of Google in student research is well-documented, but the Illinois researchers found something they did not expect: students were not very good at using Google. They were basically clueless about the logic underlying how the search engine organizes and displays its results. Consequently, the students did not know how to build a search that would return good sources. (For instance, limiting a search to news articles, or querying specific databases such as Google Book Search or Google Scholar.)
  • Librarians often have to walk that line between giving a person a fish and teaching her how to fish, proverbially speaking, says Thill. And the answer can rightly vary based on how quickly she needs a fish, whether she has the skills and coordination to competently wield a pole, and whether her ultimate goal is to become a master angler.
  • “It’s not about teaching shortcuts, it’s about teaching them not to take the long way to a goal,” says Elisa Addlesperger, a reference and instruction librarian at DePaul. “They’re taking very long, circuitous routes to their goals.… I think it embitters them and makes them hate learning.” Teaching efficiency is not a compromise of librarianship, adds Jagman; it is a value.

    results of an ethnographic study of college students and their relationship with libraries and level of information literacy...  Quote: "In other words: Today's college students might have grown up with the language of the information age, but they do not necessarily know the grammar."
