Abstract
Although technology vies for our attention–continually creating new opportunities and challenges for library instruction–we must remain focused on our students. Recent studies indicate that the current generation of students is more comfortable than previous generations with online active learning environments and has seamlessly integrated the Internet into their everyday lives. In this article, Dupuis examines trends and uses anecdotes from her personal experience to illuminate the implications for instructional programs. It is time, she asserts, to reassess current approaches, content, instructional design, and evaluation techniques. To be successful, it is important to listen to students, challenge the status quo, and take risks.
