Google jockeying

From Educause, here's an article on a phenomenon I'd never heard of before -- "Google jockeying". http://www.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/ELI7014.pdf

In the "Scenario" section there's a nice account of what happens when the instructor takes on the role and shows the students how they could be finding better information. I wonder if any faculty members would be interested in having a librarian serve as "Google jockey" occasionally?

  • Great idea! In addition to doing the jockeying ourselves (what fun!), we could offer library instruction for students to prepare them to be the best Google Jockeys they can be...
