Yeah and I seriously question what feels like “I couldn’t find anything about this in Google therefore nobody knows anything about this”. [1] I worked in a specialized reference library for a while and it was very eye-opening to see university students fail to find, say, 90% of our materials.

[1] Quoting: > However, no-one seems to know the origins of the image

Do you have a go-to bit of advice you give to students who you've spotted are lacking research (and just plain search) skills?

(i.e. Something to kickstart them in the right direction, not just a way of saying "learn how to search better!")
