« I ban my students from using Google, Wikipedia and other websites like that. I give them a reading list to work from and expect them to cite a good number of them in any work they produce. »

Une critique virulente des propos de Tara Brabazon

‘Google Generation’ is a myth, says new research : JISC Annotated

The report by the CIBER research team at University College London claims that, although young people demonstrate an ease and familiarity with computers, they rely on the most basic search tools and do not possess the critical and analytical skills to asses the information that they find on the web. The report ‘Information Behaviour of the Researcher of the Future’ also shows that research-behaviour traits that are commonly associated with younger users – impatience in search and navigation, and zero tolerance for any delay in satisfying their information needs – are now the norm for all age-groups, from younger pupils and undergraduates through to professors.

As I suggested earlier, it has become popular to use the web as a shorthand way of dismissing a whole category of resources: if its on the web, it isn’t appropriate for citation in a university paper.

I’m accepting, for the moment, the assumption that acceptable knowledge resides primarily in peer-reviewed journals and in books.)

As for Wikipedia, I would agree that, for a variety of reasons, it is probably not a proper source for an academic work. Many professors would not accept an encyclopedia entry as a citation in a paper, regardless of which encyclopedia it came from. Some might accept it as a source of a defion, perhaps, but in those cases, it would have to be an encyclopedia recognized in that field. Wikipedia, in a general sense, wouldn’t make the grade.

Teaching them an oversimplified model for assessing information resources, while potentially effective at getting them to change their habits, does little to develop the skills they need to be successful in their studies and their future careers
