The University of Google: Education in a (post) information age by Tara Brabazon. Ashgate, 2007. - "Google is a brand name that has transformed into a verb for web searching. The word has also entered popular culture. But an absence in this narrative of commercial success is the impact of Google on education. Googling signals simple and intuitive surfing, rather than planned researching, and quick answers to difficult questions. The costs and consequences of students entering this digital shopping mall for research, scholarship and interpretation require attention." More at Brabazon.net
