Students Lack Basic Research Skills

The article I will be reviewing is titled "Students Lack Basic Research Skills, Study Finds" by Paige Chapman. The article was published November 9, 2010. The article was focused on a report by Alison J. Head, called the "Project Information Literacy Progress Report." The article mentions how students in today culture are dependent on technology when it comes to research such as search engines like Google. Because of those students often have to deal with information overload and that students today have problems evaluating information. The article seems to focus on the brake away from standard sources, such as libraries, toward web based sources. The article was very helpful and backed up by good source material. I just did not agree about how it said it gave people less of an ability when it comes to evaluating information to me personally.
