Spotlight on 'Generation Y' - new study launched

The British Library and JISC have launched a ground-breaking three-year study into the study and research behaviour of 'Generation Y' scholars, namely those born between 1982 and 1994. The study will analyse the young researchers' activities and habits in online and physical research environments, as well as assessing their usage of library and information resources, both on and offline. The research subjects will be doctoral students beginning their PhD programme in the academic year 2008/09
