Pew Study Shows Use of Video-Sharing Sites on the�Rise - Chronicle.com

The Chronicle reported on a recent Pew Study on online video usage. This may added incentive to incorporate YouTube videos into instruction!

While over on the Pew site, I found a second report, Information Searches That Solve Problems. The report discusses a survey that found that more people (58%) turn to the Internet than any other source. There is still hope for libraries. The study found that Generation Y (40%) were twice as likely as 30 yr olds (20%) to use a library to solve problems.

One doubt in my mind - is it because Gen Y like libraries better, or is it because they have easy access on college campuses?
