Meeting the Needs of the 21st Century Student
Niles, Phyllis
Community & Junior College Libraries, v17 n2 p47-51 2011
This paper will examine the learning needs of millennial students, a generation different from any previous generation, so librarians should adjust their teaching methods to accommodate their needs. Should we, as librarians, consider changing our reference services--the way we present instruction and the materials that we order for the library? Will traditional library methods meet the needs of our current students or will students stop coming to the library in favor of finding their information on Google?
