. Most students today and engineering students in particularfeel so comfortable with information technology that they often think they are more adept atdoing research than they actually are. Trussell explains, “Students arriving at college are oftenill prepared to grapple with the information resources presented by the modern academic library.Compounding the problem is the fact that many students have come to believe that accessing andusing information is simple, a belief supported by commercial marketing practices and popularusage of the Internet. …Popular usage maybe easy, but effective research usage is not.”18Fosmire and Macklin agree and they contend: “…The bigger problem, however, lies in thefundamental belief that competence with
