Sunday Link Du Jour: January 27, 2008

If you’re a school librarian like I am, and work with students to help them find information, the following link might make you say “A-hah! I knew it.” If you’re not a school librarian, well, you might say the same thing, but without the exclamation point. It turns out that the youngsters, occasionally called “the Google generation” (although I have never actually heard anyone speak this phase – must be a print only thang) are not so hot at googling. Yep, Google Generation = poor googlers. It turns out that babies don’t come out of the womb as canny boolean searchers, as previously thought. Click the logo below to read all about it.
