Dear Professionals, here is the latest research report from Project Information Literacy (based in the University of Washington's Information School). Indira -------------------- Dr. Indira Koneru Faculty Member Dept. of Library Science Icfai Academic Wing 23, Nagarjuna Hills Hyderabad-500082 ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: pilstudy(a)u.washington.edu Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2009 15:16:26 -0800 (PST) We are pleased to let you know that Project Information Literacy's latest research report was released today. In "Lessons Learned: How College Students Find Information in the Digital Age," we present findings from our student survey, administered last spring to students (n=2,318) enrolled at six U.S. college campuses (42 pages, PDF, 3 MB). We were struck by what we found. We hope that our findings will help inform educators, such as yourself, about today's college students and how they look for information and conduct research for course-related work and in their everyday lives. Finally, a few thanks are in order for this year's work. We thank ProQuest for their generous support of our research this past year and the MacArthur Foundation for contributing funds to make the current year's ongoing research possible. And we thank you for your interest, support, and collaboration. ! All our best, - Alison and Mike -- Alison J. Head, Ph.D. and Michael Eisenberg, Ph.D. ______________________________ Co-Directors and Co-Principal Investigators Project Information Literacy The Information School | University of Washington Seattle, Washington (707) 939-6941 ajhead1(a)u.washington.edu mbe(a)u.washington.edu _________________________________________________________________ New Windows 7: Find the right PC for you.
