Yet another student doing a dissertation!

I'm starting to look into the topic of the so called 'Google Generation' for my honours dissertation. I'm considering looking at how Google is used by university students for assignments - including how often Google is used and to what extent, as well as assessing what other sources are used to search for information.

Would really appreciate it if anyone could point me towards any good articles on the topic.
