In this article the authors go over several studies that they conducted dealing with giving young children different materials to play with and having them observe different activities. The authors examined the results that they found and concluded how the children would react or how they were more inclined to act based on how they thought. This is interesting based on the different way the children acted and if this has anything to do with what subjects they would be better at.

The author discuses how students researches have begun to diverge from the library for quite some time now and Google Scholar is just more evidence of this. He describes how the lack of student tendency to use the library has struck fear into both university faculty and librarians. He then discusses a number of different approaches that colleges and universities are taking. Some have a strict no Google Scholar, others do not dismiss or endorse it, posting agendas that point users towards the library, and some accept Google Scholar as good enough for student use. This article describes what researchers desire and the ability of Google Scholar to provide this information.
