Google in Academic Research and Library Instruction
 
Charlene Sorensen, Serials Coordinator, Candice Dahl, English Liaison/Instruction Librarian, University of Saskatchewan.

 
Do librarians personally conduct their research in the ways that they recommend to their patrons? Results of a study undertaken to discover discrepancies between how academic librarians seek information for themselves and how they instruct others to do so will be presented. These findings have implications for information literacy, library instruction, and the usability of library interfaces that provide access to information. The issue of whether or not the right way of doing research is changing will also be discussed.
