Some Views of the Google Generation

My local academic library consortium is planning a discussion next month on the current generation of undergraduate students - Millennials, Generation Y, the Google Generation, etc. One of my colleagues has recommended this article from Inside Higher Ed: Understanding Students Who Were 'Born Digital'. And our library director shared with us the NELINET environmental scan, which has a couple of articles on Generation Y and the Google Generation. What our today's students doing, and expecting from us? What is changing in how students do research? This should be an interesting topic for discussion.
