Notas do Editor
- “Traditionalists born before1946 are patriotic and tend to be loyal, fiscally conservative andhave faith in institutions. Baby Boomers bornbetween 1946 and 1964are described as idealistic, competitive, questioning authority, and desireto put their own stamp on things. They are sandwiched between parentsand their children and they challenge institutions.” People born from1965–1981 are known as Generation X, and they are “eclectic, resourceful,self-reliant, distrust institutions, and are highly adaptive to both change andtechnology.”
- “The Millennial Generation is generally agreedto be those born between approximately 1982and 2002. Neil Howe and Bill Strauss arecredited with coining the term Millennials” (Alison, J.; 2009, p. 64).
- Digital immigrants are born prior to 1980 about a decade ago. Marc Prensky thinks that digital natives are different from digital immigrants not just in how they dress, but in language, music, and how they approach technology (Prensky,2001).
- Children who have grown up since the emergence ofthe World Wide Web and the assortment of relateddigital technologies (e.g., cell phones, text messaging,video games, and instant messaging) are now beingreferred to as the Millennials (Howe & Strauss, 2000).
- “Millennials are first of all the largest generation:76 million as of the end of the year 2000(Howe & Strauss, 2000, p. 14).The Millennialsare also a diverse generation.”
- “Millennial are a confident and optimisticgeneration of achievers. While it may bedebated by some, rising test scores haveoccurred among Milennials, more kidsthan ever say they like school, and a largerpercentage are taking Advanced Placementcourses” (Howe & Strauss, 2000, p. 9).
- “Milennials getalong with their parents far better than previousgenerations have, perhaps contributing to therise of the "helicopter parent" as they don'tmind their parents getting involved in theirbusiness” (Alison, J.; 2009, p. 65). “One highly publicized study entitled "EgosInflating Over Time" has found Millennials tobe the most narcissistic generation (Alison, J.; 2009, p. 65)”.
- “Millennials are an impatient generationthat has grown up multitasking” (Alison, J., 2008, p. 65). “Generation Yers are commonly characterized as having low thresholds for boredom and showing short attention spans” (Amy, H.; 2010, p. 13). They are “highly scheduled” ( "Millennial" students gravitate toward group activity” (McGlynn,A.; 2005, p. 13 ).“Millennialsare at ease with multitasking, quite happy tobe chatting via IM and listening to musicwhile doing their homework (Oblinger, 2003, p.4O).”
- “Millennial are a confident and optimisticgeneration of achievers. While it may bedebated by some, rising test scores haveoccurred among Milennials, more kidsthan ever say they like school, and a largerpercentage are taking Advanced Placementcourses” (Howe & Strauss, 2000, p. 9).
- They are the "focus of the mostsweeping youth safety movement in Americanhistory" beginning with the rise of child safetydevices in the 80s, continuing through thepost-Columbine focus on school safety (Howe& Strauss, 2000, p. 43).
- “These students grew up in a time of economic prosperity” (McGylnn,2005,p.13).
- “Millennials were born around the time thepersonal computer was introduced, andtwenty percent began using computers at theearly ages of 5-8, while "virtually all studentswere using computers" by the ages of 16-18(Obhnger, 2003, p.39)”
- All of those tools are used at a much more frequent rate by people from the Millennial generation than by any other generation.
- “Public schools typically placeheavy restrictions on the use of the Internet. Socialnetworking sites such as MySpace, Facebook, andYouTube are often blocked in libraries and computerlabs. The result is a failure to build a bridge betweenthe technological world Millennials live in and theclassrooms we expect them to learn in. Such restrictionsare almost always justified by claiming that theyare intended to protect students. Such protection,however well-intentioned, actually fails to prepareyoung people by not providing the adult supervisionand guidance that many of them would benefit fromduring their online encounters” (Cosidine, D.; Horton, J. & Moorman, G.; 2009, 473).“Thus Millennials needlibrarians more than ever because they live ina changing world of information overload” (Alison, J.; 2009, p. 65). “Most importantly librarians need to emphasize that not all information is found on the Web and that the information found there might not be reliable, depending on its source” (Phyliss, N.; 2011, p. 48)
