Off the Shelf and out of the Box: Saving Time, Meeting Outcomes and Reaching Students with Information Literacy Modules
Kelley, Jennifer
Journal of Library & Information Services In Distance Learning, v6 n3-4 p335-349 2012
As institutions of higher learning rapidly expand their offerings of online, hybrid and other distance learning opportunities for their students, librarians must adapt, adopt and improve information literacy instruction methods to accommodate instructors they may never meet and classes they may never see. Many responses to these challenges, such as embedded librarians and tutorial development, however, can be time consuming, expensive and resource-draining. This article discusses the process of creating a low-maintenance, wide-reaching solution to providing generic information literacy instruction to students in online, hybrid, distance and face-to-face courses.
