This recently released report is featured in a post on Net-Gold in which I
also discuss the importance of teaching end users and in particular
students regarding bibliographic database use resources and skills.

A Fresh Look at Public Attitudes About Libraries in the 21st Century

>From my comments:

"One critical problem in American education and in our understanding of
the digital divide is the almost complete failure in K-12 and
undergraduate college programs is the lack of in depth training in the use
of bibliographic databases now provided by many public and most academic
libraries with the result that Americans who use the internet rely on
search engines like Google, but not even Google Books or Google Scholar,
to do research or learn or self educate themselves. "
