..... because your knowledge and myknowledge, based on what searchresults we are served, may be verydifferent from each other. Siva Vaidhyanathan in The Googlization of Everything,

New developments in search, such as Googleinstant (that shows results as you type) haveboth enhanced & hindered the informationseeking habits of students by responding quicklyto search terms, and so making keywordcustomization seem less relevant. cc licensed ( BY NC SD ) ﬂickr photo by Always Bë Cool: http://ﬂickr.com/photos/alwaysbecool/2871346522/

“The students surveyed often looked injournals or databases unsuited to their field ofstudy and displayed a poor understanding ofhow to refine search results”. While the interface of Google and other similar search engines might be more intuitive, what’s going on behind the scenes isn’t intuitive at all, and very few students had a clear conception of how search engines work. This lack of understanding compounds the problem of building an effective search strategy.”

By showing our students how to connect adatabase information repository (such asEBSCO, Gale, or JStor) or a local libraryservice with Google Scholar, we are helpingstudents broaden the scope of their informationseeking, while at the same time refining thequality of the information response.

When a technology focus subverts students’ conversation and development of critical thinking skills (and their ability to evaluate and analyse the information at hand), the mental processes that change knowledge from information to concept are not learned.Bomar, S. (2010). A School-Wide Instructional Framework for Evaluating Sources. Knowledge Quest, 38(3), 72-75.
