Nyligen genomfördes en undersökning vid University of Washington som 
ställde följande frågor
kring studenternas sökande av kunskap

In a world teeming with information technology and overflowing with 
access to data, how do
students find the information they need? How do students conduct 
research for course-related
assignments? How do they conduct research for use in their everyday 
lives? What frustrations
and obstacles do they encounter? What strategies have students developed 
to meet their
information needs?

och svaret blev att studenterna är mer förvirrade och frustrerade än 
någonsin

In general, students reported being challenged, confused, and frustrated 
by the research
process, despite the convenience, relative ease, or ubiquity of the 
Internet. In our sessions,
frustrations included the effects of information overload and being 
inundated with resources, but
more. Participants also reported having particular difficulty traversing 
a vast and ever-changing
information landscape. Specifically, participants greatest challenges 
were related to finding the
materials they desired, knew existed, and needed on a “just in time” basis.
