This poster presents the findings of a longitudinal study investigating the Web search tools preferred by undergraduate students in their academic activities such as report writing. The success of research relies on an effective strategy for finding information, which includes the skill to apply a variety of information search tools and new Internet genres such as cloud search engines, online social networks, wikis, blogs and other Web sources and tools. In addition, proper research relies on the researcher's ability to evaluate the quality and validity of information. Various recent studies show that students often tend to use the Internet as a research support infrastructure regardless of the suitability of Web content. Thus this project set out to first determine whether sources typical to the Doyle and Grimes Bibliographic Chain Model are still being used by undergraduate students in research report writing. Secondly, to identify the type of Internet sources within the existing Bibliographic Chain Model that is being applied in the research process. Thirdly, to determine the extent to which newly accessible Web-specific genres such as cloud search engines, online social networks and other Social Web media are used in the research process. The research approach is hybrid in nature and applies a survey (quantitative) as well as qualitative data collection techniques to gain insight on the preferred Web search tools of Information Management students in their research activities. Analyses of the longitudinal findings (2008-2010) are graphically presented in this poster with the objective to contribute to understanding the Web as a research support infrastructure.
