Book excerpt: This study presents data from a representative survey of 1,765 full time American college students from 4-year colleges in the United States about their use of information literacy tutorials, and other means of learning to use the academic library. The report gives detailed data on who uses information literacy tutorials provided by the academic library or those from other sources, and how many they use. Also, the study presents student library patron satisfaction data with library-furnished tutorials, as well as open ended information on which tutorials students appreciate the most and what they feel they need but cannot find. Just a few of this 123-page report's many findings are that: ?34.62% of students raised outside of the USA had used a library-furnished information literacy tutorial.?Use was far higher among those in certificate or non-degree programs than those in four year degree programs.?The tendency to ask a librarian for direct help rather than watch or listen to a tutorial peaked among students aged 22. Data is broken out by more than 20 institutional and personal variables including but not limited to: income of family of origin, race/ethnicity, religion, gender, regional origins, current employment status, sexual orientation, major field of study, age, year of school standing, type of college, size of college, tuition level of college, and many other variables.

Book excerpt: The Survey of Best Practices in Developing Online Information Literacy Tutorials is a benchmarking report for online tutorial development, presenting a wealth of information on the practices involved in and the cost of developing online information literacy tutorials. The 285-page report also looks at how tutorials are marketed and accessed, and at popular access points such as Facebook, the library website and others, as well as how tutorials are used in for-credit classes and more ad-hoc use. The study looks at how tutorial designers are trained, and at how they inter-relate to non-library departments and other departments of the library. The study also looks at the use of tutorials of other colleges and vendor-produced tutorials, and at efforts to evaluate how students use tutorials, and how colleges should make decisions on what kinds of tutorials to produce and how to best produce them. The questionnaire for the report was largely developed by librarians at the University of Arizona libraries.

Download or read book Survey of American College Students 2022 Use of Virtual Other Reference Services written by Primary Research Group Inc. and published by . This book was released on 2022-03-03 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study looks at how American college students at 4-year colleges are using reference services, with an emphasis on remote use. The report has highly detailed data pinpointing who emails librarians, who uses virtual reference services, who contacts reference librarians via phone, or text, or in-person, or through forms on the library website. The study gives specific and unique data about users of each of these ways of contacting reference librarians. In addition, the study looks at student comfort level in approaching reference librarians, enabling the study's end user to identify students with a high discomfort level. Also, the report looks at overall comfort levels in approaching librarians online.Just a few of this 124-page report's many findings are that: Nearly 29% of all students sampled had asked for help from a reference librarian though an email. Students studying healthcare-related professions and those studying criminal justice were much more likely than those studying other disciplines to contact a librarian by phone. Students at high tuition colleges were much more likely than those at lower tuition colleges to have asked a librarian a question in person in the library. About 14% of students sampled found it to some degree difficult to contact a librarian online.Data in the report is broken out by more than 20 personal and institutional variables, so, for example, readers can get specific data on the percentage or English majors vs History majors who have ever asked a reference librarian a question or the percentage of men vs women who have used the college or university virtual reference service.Breakouts include age, year of school standing, major or intended major, religion, gender, sexual orientation, income level, SAT/ACT scores, college grades, regional origins, race/ethnicity, level of school tuition, size of school of institution attended and many other variables. This is a critical resource for policy makers in academic libraries as well as a unique data source for social scientists and other studying higher education.
Download or read book Examining Information Literacy in Academic Libraries written by Chizwina, Sabelo and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2024-04-09 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 21st century, information literacy emerges as the cornerstone of educational development. Despite its paramount significance, a stark reality persists — students often traverse the corridors of academia without acquiring essential information literacy skills. This deficiency is exacerbated by a shortage of faculty training, leaving academic libraries to shoulder the responsibility of cultivating information-savvy individuals. Examining Information Literacy in Academic Libraries delves into the core challenges and solutions surrounding this critical educational imperative. This book illuminates the role of academic libraries as bastions of information literacy instruction. The capacity of students and information consumers to seek, evaluate, and utilize information is paramount for informed decision-making ethically and legally. Regardless of whether or not students were brought up in the digital age, many lack the fundamental information literacy skills required for higher education. This deficiency manifests in academic malpractices, such as plagiarism, which compromise the integrity of educational institutions. Moreover, this imperative work contends that the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) is not a distant concept but a present reality. The recent global upheaval caused by the Coronavirus pandemic accelerated the adoption of new technologies, necessitating a swift reassessment of our collective ability to navigate this everchanging digital and information landscape. Focusing on media literacy, data literacy, and digital literacy, with information literacy as the overarching domain, this book serves as a beacon for educators, librarians, and policymakers.

This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s learners communicate, create, and share information using a range of information technologies such as social media, blogs, microblogs, wikis, mobile devices and apps, virtual worlds, and MOOCs. In Metaliteracy, respected information literacy experts Mackey and Jacobson present a comprehensive structure for information literacy theory that builds on decades of practice while recognizing the knowledge required for an expansive and interactive information environment. The concept of metaliteracy expands the scope of traditional information skills (determine, access, locate, understand, produce, and use information) to include the collaborative production and sharing of information in participatory digital environments (collaborate, produce, and share) prevalent in today’s world. Combining theory and case studies, the authors Show why media literacy, visual literacy, digital literacy, and a host of other specific literacies are critical for informed citizens in the twenty-first centuryOffer a framework for engaging in today’s information environments as active, selfreflective, and critical contributors to these collaborative spacesConnect metaliteracy to such topics as metadata, the Semantic Web, metacognition, open education, distance learning, and digital storytellingThis cutting-edge approach to information literacy will help your students grasp an understanding of the critical thinking and reflection required to engage in technology spaces as savvy producers, collaborators, and sharers.
