====================================================================

What's Covered:

The millennial generation, born into a fast moving tech-driven
environment, continues to change the landscape in academia and in the
work world. It’s an important shift in human capital that must be
understood in terms of behaviors, needs, values and expectations. With
the ubiquity of the Internet, mobile phones, tablets and laptops are
keeping millennials always connected while on the go. To be sure,
millennials use mobile devices at twice the rate of people 35 and
older, according to the 2015 Digital Marketer Report.

To keep up with this generation, universities and colleges have to
keep pace with technological advancements that suit individual needs.
Faculty need to be tech savvy to deliver an engaging collegiate
learning experience while reducing social distractions that mobile
devices foster. At the same time, the role of the librarian is
changing with significant implications for the scholarly publishing
and communications community.

In this NFAIS Webinar, Monday, May 16, EBSCO's Kate Lawrence, the
University of Nebraska’s Bernard McCoy and the University of Illinois
at Chicago’s Jenny Emanuel Taylor, will discuss in depth:

•        Who millennials are and what their behavioral approach is as
they leave higher education and become consumers and professionals

•        What's being done to create the best collegiate experience
for millennials

•        How institutions are using tech-based tools to improve
student engagement and classroom instruction

•        The methods through which students absorb scholarly materials

•        How librarians are meeting the needs of students whose study
and research habits are laser pointed on the technologies they use

Presenters (listed per presenter order):

Kate Lawrence, Vice President, User Research, EBSCO

Bernard R. McCoy, Associate Professor, College of Journalism and Mass
Communications, University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Jenny Emanuel Taylor, Assistant Regional Health Sciences Librarian,
University of Illinois at Chicago

Join us for this NFAIS Webinar to better understand what Millennials
are all about and how they (as consumers, professionals and citizens)
contribute to – and disrupt – the information community.
