The times they are a changin' and the college (and medical) students are increasingly technology and Internet savvy.

To have an idea of what they expect and what their knowledge background you might want to look at:

How Choice, Co-Creation, and Culture Are Changing What It Means to Be Net Savvy. George Lorenzo, Diana Oblinger and Charles Dziuban. courtesy of EDUCAUSE.Interesting snippet from the paper:
"Although Net Geners easily navigate instant messaging, email, Facebook, YouTube, del.icio.us, and Flickr, their apparent technology savviness may be deceptive:
'It is wrongheaded to think that undergraduates -because the have grown up in a digital age- are better at understanding the technology they use as it relates to researching information. They are at sea, drowning in a pool of information, looking for life preserves. Libraries have taken on the task for years of educating our undergraduate students, graduate students, and professors about where information resides, how to access it, and what can be done with it. This the vestal flame of libraries, and is really important task that cant' be surrendered under the assumption that undergraduates know about this because they have grown up with technology.'
The presumed savviness of the Net Generation (or their naivete) is not the only reason that information literacy becomes more complicated in this environment; it is the do-it-yourself independent approach to information literacy."
