Assessing Students' Information Literacy: Attitudes and Perceptions of College Students across Generations
Heather A. Dalal; Arthur Taylor; Sharon Whitfield
College & Research Libraries, v86 n2 p255-274 2025
Generation Z has come of age in a world inundated with an immediate and constant flow of information from a variety of sources. This information is usually uncurated, unverified, and presented in ways that make it difficult to discern the source and the veracity of the information. While previous generations had access to similar information, it was more likely to be curated (e.g., library sources), or compiled by professionals (e.g., professional journal reporting, academics), and was also not immediately available.
