Drs. Michael Eisenberg and Alison Head co-authored an op-ed column in the June 3 edition of the Seattle Times. The column shares insights gained through research with more than more than 10,000 students at 31 U.S. colleges and universities about how they are dealing with information overload. Eisenberg and Head argue colleges must retool to help young people learn the skills to negotiate the vast amount of information at their disposal.
