One more article about the millenial student

Can you stand one more item about net generation students?

Gary Roberts has a new column in Computers in Libraries called "Computers in Small Libraries." In his debut column, "Small Libraries, Big Technology," he writes:

Our college student patrons make less of a distinction between the physical and the virtual world. These students are not "going online." Rather, they are online all the time, constantly connected to their cell phones, PDAs, e-mail accounts, and chat groups. For these patrons, 24/7 communication is now a reality.


The full-text is available from Research Library. (Most of the article is about web design.)
