“…In total, 43 studies examining media use during academic activities were included: 16 correlational studies (see Table 2), 25 experimental studies (see Table 3), and two descriptive studies (Braguglia, 2011;Johri, Teo, Lo, Dufour, & Schram, 2014). Thirty-seven of these studies focused on emerging adults by including university students, five studies focused on adolescents (Beentjes, Koolstra, & Van der Voort, 1996;Pool, Koolstra, & Van der Voort, 2003a, 2003bPool, Van der Voort, Beentjes, & Koolstra, 2000), one study focused on pre-adolescents (Fetler, 1984), and one study focused on both adolescents and emerging adults (Rosen, Carrier, & Cheever, 2013).…”

a b s t r a c tThe increasing prevalence of media multitasking among youth has raised concerns regarding its negative effects on youths' functioning. Although the number of empirical studies on the consequences of media multitasking for youth has grown rapidly, there has been no attempt to integrate theory with the results of these studies. This review integrates available findings on the relationship between media multitasking and three domains of youths' functioning: cognitive control, academic performance, and socioemotional functioning. Three databases (PsycINFO, ERIC, and CMMC) were searched to identify relevant studies, resulting in 8448 citations. Fifty-six studies met the inclusion criteria: nine studies on cognitive control, 43 on academic performance, and four on socioemotional functioning. Overall, the findings indicate a small to moderate negative relationship between media multitasking and the three domains of youths' functioning. However, evidence regarding the causal direction of this relationship is lacking. Based on the included studies, we identify several research gaps and present five main directions for future research: examining causality, establishing more targeted theories, improving media multitasking measurements, focusing on individual and contextual differences, and including representative samples.

“…Aunque no es propósito de este artículo profundizar en el análisis de las desventajas de Twitter (esto lo dejamos para posteriores trabajos), debemos remarcar inconvenientes observados como el riesgo a la privacidad, señalada por algunos alumnos; el sobre trabajo que puede representar para los estudiantes (aspecto también señalado por Garrigós et al (2015) cuando analizaron la utilización de otras redes sociales como Facebook); su desconocimiento por parte de diversos estudiantes (y reticencia también a su utilización); o su limitado uso comparado con otras redes sociales (Johri et al, 2014). Por ejemplo, algunos estudiantes nos mencionaron su preferencia por redes sociales más visuales, cuestión también observada al analizar la evolución y desarrollo de Twitter, frente a otras redes sociales con una creciente relevancia, tales como Youtube o Instagram.…”

“…Research studies which consider the perhaps unique educational service needs of Millennial generation engineering undergraduates are quite rare and are often, as outlined importantly by [4], focused on how students interact with the online environment and technological devices rather than on library offerings. Library-focused studies such as [5] and [6] are already several years old.…”

Abstract. In this paper, the authors present interim research results from an ongoing ethnographic examination of eight engineering undergraduate students from two technology universities in Prague, Czech Republic. A multi-layered data gathering strategy was employed, including semi-structured in-person interviews as well as in situ and virtual observations of participants interacting with learning environments. This data enabled the authors to examine whether or not students are aware of library services. "Library services" are here broadly defined to include not only traditional support services but also new, emerging areas of activity which can be categorized under the broader concept of undergraduate student support [1]. Findings indicate very poor awareness of library offerings although participants were aware of the library as a study space. The authors additionally touch briefly upon the concept of "backward design" [2] for service development, in which research data is gathered and considered prior to service design and launch.
