NFAIS WEBINAR: The Information Behavior of the Researcher of the Future:  A Look at New Survey Results 
 
Want to learn more about the information behavior of the next generation of scholars and researchers? Join NFAIS in a 90-minute webinar on Wednesday, June 20th (11:00am – 12:30pm EDST) to hear the just-released results of a three-year study on the behavior of the 'Generation Y' scholar (students born between 1982 -1994) currently studying for a PhD in the UK. Sponsored by the British Library and JISC and to be released this month, the study will examine students’ activities and habits in online and physical research environments, as well as their use of print and digital library information resources. 
 
The webinar will feature Julie Carpenter, Founder and Director of Education for Change, who served as Project Director for the study. She will discuss the results of the study on the following issues:
 
Emerging research behaviour trends across diverse subject discipline
How doctoral scholars from Generation Y seek information both on and offline
The relative use of digital resources and physical resources, including research spaces
How Generation Y students search for and use digital content for research
Generation Y adoption and use of emerging technologies for information access and use
