Researchers of Tomorrow: A three year (BL/JISC) study tracking the research behaviour of 'Generation Y' doctoral students

Education for Change, in collaboration with The Research Partnership, has been engaged by the British Library and the JISC to undertake a groundbreaking 3-year study on the research behaviour of the 'Generation Y' scholar.

The study is tracking young doctoral students' (those born between 1982 - 1994) information-seeking behaviour, analysing their habits in online and physical research environments and assessing their usage of library and information sources on and off line. 

On this site we share information and updates about the project. This site is managed by Education for Change.

Exploration for Change! was created in 2009 by Education for Change to provide access under one roof to a range of innovative and interactive project websites. The sites and tools linked from Exploration for Change! will differ in subject and audience, but typically have in common that they explore and facilitate interaction and dialogue with communities and groups in a way that goes beyond mere 'one-way' provision of information.
