Who are our students? Joan Lippincott, with the Coalition for Networked Information, suggests that there is a disconnect between libraries and the culture of our undergraduates, the “Net Generation.”1 At the University of Rochester, River Campus Libraries, we conducted a two-year ethnographic study (2004–2006) of how undergraduates do their work, including students’ use of technology and their involvement in campus life. We were particularly interested in how they use library resources, staff, and facilities in the process of writing research papers and completing research-based assignments for their college classes. In this paper, we report on the methods, findings, and programming outcomes of our Undergraduate Research Project. The project has had a significant impact on our attitudes about our students, our understanding of the ways that students engage in academic work, and the programs of the River Campus Libraries.
