Thing 9: Identifying my need---Chang

Chang's topic of INF6350 assignment is "How did the Internet affect students' information seeking behaviour?". Nowadays, it is an important way to seek information from the Internet such as digital libraries and Google Schoolar. As a result, students' information seeking behaviour have been affected by the Internet. Based on this situation, my essay will focus on the changes of college students' behaviour affected by the Internet.

Identifying an assignment topic

My topic of choice for the assignment will be microblogging, with reference either to information seeking and exploration (such as information encountering) or teaching and learning (such as the use of Twitter in the classroom).

This topic is highly relevant to our current information context and I am keen to learn more about the nature of microblogging and the opportunities it may provide. My choice of topic will probably become more specific as I proceed to gather information and determine the scope of the subject.
