Digital user expectations

Expert users expectations

• Simple search boxes like Google or Amazone • Library databases embedded in virtual learning environments • Library databases considered difficult• taste for collaboration, teamwork and networking • Web browsing by trial and error, ignoring manuals and aids • research self-directed and tending not to be linear • belief on the Web • use of various media: music, photos, posts, videos • cut and paste more than read and interpret information

(Godwin, P. (2008). Information literacy meets library 2.0. London: Facet Pub.)

The students and the library

Know user skills in research and utilization of information, their patterns of use of services and resources offered by the

Library and perception of the importance given to the library by them, as a mediator in the access to the information resources.Survey about students search habits and

library use

poor identification of types and formats of information

sources, of the search strategy and poor understanding of

the elements and syntax of a bibliographic description

high expectations about the importance of the library

without matching the use they make of it

importance of the Internet for obtaining information, far

superior to the effective use of the library and of its

collections most commonly used services: availability of rooms for

group work, research documents on the shelf, and

Internet access

most used features: Google, library books and various

web tools. Stood by their low utilization or ignorance, the

databases and the Library catalog
