[Irtalk] Digital Native Academic Librarians, Technology Skills, and Their Relationship with Technology | Emanuel | Information Technology and Libraries

[Hilton Gibson]

A new generation of academic librarians, who are a part of the Millennial
Generation born between 1982 and 2001 are now of the age to either be in
graduate school or embarking on their careers. This paper, as part of a
larger study examining Millennial academic librarians, their career
selection, their attitudes, and their technology skills, looks specifically
at the technology skills and attitudes towards technology among a group of
young librarians and library school students.  The author initially wanted
to learn if the increasingly high tech nature of academic librarianship
attracted Millennials to the career, but results showed that they had a
much more complex relationship with technology than the author assumed.
