College students think of information seeking as a rote process and tend
to use the same small set of information resources no matter their
question.
.
Information literacy is essential for lifelong learning and empowers
individuals and societies.
.
Our educational system should expose students to information literacy from
elementary school through postsecondary education so that it is a habit of
mind they can call upon throughout their lives.
.
Collaborative efforts between faculty, librarians, technology
professionals, and others can develop students who graduate with
information literacy competency.
.
Researchers at the Information School at the University of Washington
released an important and thought-provoking report in late 2009: "Lessons
Learned: How College Students Seek Information in the Digital Age."1 The
study confirms and expands on the results of other reports. Its particular
value is the size of the population studied, the diversity of institutions
represented, and the use of both a survey and follow-up interviews for
data collection.
.
The findings are troubling. College students think of information seeking
as a rote process and tend to use the same small set of information
resources no matter what question they have:
.
The primary sources they use for course work are course readings and
Google.
.
They rely on professors to be "research coaches" for identifying
additional sources.
.
They use Google and Wikipedia for research about everyday life topics.
They tend not to use library services that require interacting with
librarians.
And although they begin the research process engaged and curious, they
become frustrated and overwhelmed as it progresses.
.
The results of the study suggest that many college students view their
educational experience as one of "satisficing" finding just enough
information that is "good enough" to complete course assignments. They
miss opportunities that college education provides for exploration,
discovery, and deep learning.
