brindley accords special priority to the needs of researchers and believes that libraries should also play a key role in helping to teach information literacy skills. in this context, brindley observed:"[that t]he younger generation is technologically more literate but not more information literate is a challenge that must be tackled by libraries and education more widely. students who simply want to use google and take what it says as gospel do a real disservice to the skills people will increasingly need to survive in the digital economy. libraries add a degree of sophistication, support and richness of content, all of which will encourage creativity, quality research and participation of the citizen in the global digital world that we are in."
