The document discusses evidence-based practice and the expectations for first-year higher education students. It explores how the information seeking habits of the "Google Generation" can present challenges to evidence-based practice. Specifically, students may have difficulty evaluating sources for quality and appropriateness due to overreliance on sources like Wikipedia and Google. The document emphasizes the need to teach students critical thinking and evaluation skills so they can assess what counts as valid evidence and support their academic work with appropriate sources.

Editor's Notes
Attendees to come up with a defining statement.
A researcher is able to identify a need for information to address the research question A researcher can scope what information is available to support the information need and know how to access it. Plan the search strategies (specific to different information sources). Gather information ā apply search strategies (and continue to stay up to day by using current awareness, online communities, email lists, RSS feeds, etc). A researcher can review the research process and compare and evaluate information and data. A researcher can manage - organise information professionally and ethically (referencing, plagiarism, copyright, etc) Present results of research (synthesis, presentation, dissemination)

A lot of what is written on such resources are more opinion based than based on authoritative, research based evidence. Anecdotal
British Library research study ā Information Behaviour of the Research of the Future (2008).
Students used to speed and immediacy of information. Power browsing ā short stints online.
Students only want full-text now ā wonāt wait for interloans ā only read abstracts Google facilitaties bad behaviour and poor scholarship / academic practice. Google does not encourage the discipline which is needed for academic practice.
Audience to consider this.
Example = student teachers ā Patient experienceā ā āpupils / studentsā ā Local dataā ā areas where schools are situated ā would the same thing work in an inner city area as would a rural area?
