An article in Inside Higher Ed today focuses on the need of faculty to adapt to changing technology with respect to the research skills we teach, and the approaches to research that we assume students will use. I agree. It is no longer any good talking about research as though it happens (or happens exclusively) in library buildings. And conversely, we cannot simply tolerate students bypassing reliable sources that can be accessed online (e.g. through databases available through university/library web sites) and using whatever Google turns up, without discernment.
How have you, as an educator or as a student, changed and adapted (or failed to change and adapt) to the changing ways in which research is done nowadays?
