Net Generation

I came across an interesting article in the LJXpress electronic newsletter. The article was about "Net Generation Students and Libraries" (see link)

This is basically a discussion about the changes in searching patterns among students who have a wider exposure to the web; and who are more used to multi-tasking and visuals using graphics rather than traditionally text based information.

While it was written about academic libraries, I think we are seeing some of the same behaviors in our younger users; and over time I think these behaviors will continue. So an awareness of this issue and potential solutions is important to all of us. Take a look at the article and tell me what you think.
