Professors and Personal Information Literacy

Working in academia, I worry that a whole generation of professors is losing touch with the tools that are the foundation of their own research and growth. Every time the library gets a database makeover or a new web resource (I'm thinking Google Scholar here, even though it's not so new anymore),

I know, of course, that using databases is only one element of information literacy, but today's technology has wide ramifications. When I hear a professor tell her students that they can't use "the internet" for research, I wonder if she has grasped the reality that most scholarly information Unding tools are net-based. When a professor insists that his students use only print journals, I know that he is not properly aware of the digital revolution in periodicals. Nor has he understood that scholarly electronic journals are no different in essence from print ones (not to mention the fact that a student can simply print off a PDF to make it a print article).
