Beyond Content Knowledge: Best Approaches to Improve Student Application of Information Literacy Instruction

Session Description

Instruction conducted face-to-face and via distance education have been utilized by librarians in higher education institutions when providing information literacy instruction to students. While research has shown minimal difference in student learning when comparing these methods of delivery, changes in student behavior have not been thoroughly examined by scholars. Our results give evidence that online asynchronous instruction using tutorials were the most effective in the application of information literacy concepts in subsequent student projects. Various forms of follow up can improve instruction delivered in this method.
