There is a great article written titled, "The Google Generation: Implications for Libraries and Librarians," in the blog: http://woodsiegirl.wordpress.com/. I used the blog search engine(http://blogsearch.google.com). With users participating in the content development of sites such as Blogs, Facebook, Wikis, etc, and easy access to information through the web, it is important that the field of library science begin to make the search for quality information as easy.
"It’s such a waste of energy to try to drag users away from their preferred ways of working. It’s important to try to work with users, and tailor the help we offer to the way they instinctively work."

It is pertinent, especially in a high school library, to make quality information accessible through means regularly used by the students. If it is possible to reach desired information using a gaming device or a cell phone, then that needs to be attempted at the high school level.
