information-seeking habits and preferences of international college students

OCLC published an additional report to the December 2005 OCLC Perceptions of Libraries and Information Resources report: College Students’ Perceptions of Libraries and Information Resources Based on the content of the first report this is a must-read report. I haven't read the 100 pages yet, but will surely report back on this.

"this report is a subset of the original Perceptions report and provides findings from the online survey in an effort to learn more about:

• Library use
• Awareness and use of library electronic resources
• he Internet search engine, the library and the librarian
• Free vs. for-fee information
• The “Library” brand "
