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

Education for Change, together with The Research Partnership,was commissioned by the British Library and JISC to undertake a groundbreaking study on the research behaviour of the 'Generation Y' scholar.

The study spent three years tracking the information-seeking behaviour of doctoral students born between 1982 - 1994; analysed their habits in online and physical research environments and assessed how they used library and information sources, both on and off line. 

On this site we have shared information and updates about the project.
