Abstract:

Many students may have only limited knowledge about how to effectively evaluate online resources and use them appropriately. This student perspective on information literacy uses anecdotes, personal examples, and statistics on Net Generation Web usage to highlight gaps in students' net savviness. The author also discusses how faculty, librarians, administrators, and students must work together to close those gaps.
