Re: [Web4lib] ‘Google Generation’ is a myth, says new research

[Mark Sandford]

As an academic librarian involved in user education, I'd say this report
isn't a surprise.. except to wonder if that really was a "common assumption"
at all.  Our students aren't any more adept at searching the internet or
using web resources than any other group I've seen.  They do tend, however,
to think they're more adept, and that's the worrisome part.
