Historians and social scientists who track generations of people born in the United States have given a name to the latest generation of college students. Commonly referred to as "Millennials," this generation includes all students born after 1980, and they are the students currently walking the halls of many academic libraries. Millennials are the most numerous, affluent and ethnically-diverse generation in American history, and can be a demanding group to instruct, especially in information skills, where there is an underlying assumption that they excel. This session will examine what methods work best in reaching this new generation of learners.
