According to a survey conducted by the Pew Research of 2500 middle and high school teachers between March 7 and April 23 of 2012, only 12% stated that their students were “very likely” to use printed books, other than textbooks, when carrying out research assignments. This figure pails significantly behind online tools such as Google, Wikipedia and YouTube where 94%, 75% and 52% respectively claimed that their students were “very likely” to use those tools when conducting research assignments.
