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.

Longitudinal tracking study
Last Updated on Friday, 27 November 2009 19:32 Written by Joomla Admin Monday, 13 July 2009 17:43
One part of the research is a longitudinal study over 2½ years of about 70 full-time UK doctoral students from all subject disciplines, which is tracking these students’ information-seeking behaviour and their changing attitudes to their research.
A separate interactive Moodle site for the Trackers group of researchers in the Researchers of Tomorrow Study has been launched.
