Another useful report from the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) "Information Behaviour of the Researcher of the Future" .

This report is to help library and information services to anticipate and react to any new or emerging behaviours in the most effective way.

The broad aims of the study are to gather and assess the available evidence to establish:

whether or not, as a result of the digital transition and the vast range of information resources being digitally created, young people, the 'Google generation’, are searching for and researching content in new ways and whether this is likely to shape their future behaviour as mature researchers?
whether or not new ways of researching content will prove to be any different from the ways that existing researchers and scholars carry out their work?
to inform and stimulate discussion about the future of libraries in the Internet era

JISC report says the Google Generation (those born after 1993) may be computer literate. But that does not make them information literate.
