A survey was conducted among 80 undergraduate and graduate students aged 18-30, at the University of South Florida in the spring of 2005 to determine how they made use of varied information formats in their research. An information seeker's reticence to consult older information formats is termed as retro-technophobia and further suggestions for dealing with this phenomenon through well rounded bibliographic instruction are discussed in the following article.
