Here's one finding from Educause's "Students and Information Technology" report that seems to run counter to some of the discussions on this list:
"...the percentage of students who reported using the library website daily has increased from 7.1% in 2006 to 16.9% in 2009."
There are people (including me) who think that libraries will increasingly lose relevance in an age of seemingly ubiquitous information sources, and yet the percentage of students who use library web resources on a daily basis has more than doubled in three years.
