As a searcher of information using the web, I would describe myself as impatient and wanting instant gratification. Sometimes I spend more time thinking how I can get around getting the information I need (easiest way) rather than just doing what I know needs to be done. For example, whenever I need peer reviewed or research based information, instead of using something like Galileo, I do a google search and hope I find what I need. I like to be able to just type in a few key words and get so many hits, however, the time I spend skimming/scanning (horizontal information seeker) sites could have be better spent going straight to Galileo. Then regardless of how I search, I squirrel away anything that might be remotely related to what I am searching; however, one good thing I have learned is how to use curating tools like bag the web or scoop it to organize and manage some of the information I find. So, I am probably like most teens in that I use google as my first choice when I need to search information. I think I am this way for several reasons: google is easy access to loads of information, instant gratification, and easier (yet may actually be more time consuming in the long run) to navigate and find information (links to more information). I think that I don't tend to go to Galileo or other tools/sites/collections because I don't know about enough of them or how to use them. It takes time to learn how to search within Galileo or join an account, etc... and that frustrates me. I think teens need to be taught how to search using the web just like people my age were taught how to search in the physical library (microfilm, pulling magazines/journals, etc...) - heck, I need to learn how to be a better "searcher" of information.
