17 months ago Increasingly, learners default to the Internet as
their primary research tool, rather than using the library.
This, in of itself, presents many challenges, as students may
use un-cited and unreliable sources as the basis for various
research initiatives and assignments. This module discusses
these challenges and relates this issue to how libraries are
using digital content to foster improved research skills. As our
society becomes more mobile, the importance of mobile
information increases each day. With every assignment, I
encourage each of my students to utilize electronic resources. I
understand that my of my students are non-traditional students
who multitask daily. My students value electronic resources more
than traditional resources. From an academic view point, I
believe the students understand the kind of electronic resource
they use for their assignments. I inform my students that in my
class, wiki resource are unacceptable because of their
questionable credibility. LINDSEY ENGBERT 54
