OCLC White Paper on the Information Habits of College Students
Concentrating on the web-based information habits of
college students, particularly their use of campus library
websites, this study finds that college and university
students look to campus libraries and library websites
for their information needs and value access to accurate,
up-to-date information with easily identifiable authors.
They are aware of the shortcomings of information available
from the web and of their needs for assistance in finding
information in electronic or paper formats.

Big6
Developed by Mike Eisenberg and Bob Berkowitz, the Big6
is the most widely-known and widely-used approach to
teaching information and technology skills in the world.

information search and use skills along with technology
tools in a systematic process to find, use, apply, and
evaluate information to specific needs and tasks.
