Building Context-Based Library Instruction
Roldan, Malu; Wu, Yuhfen Diana
Journal of Education for Business, v79 n6 p323-327 Jul-Aug 2004
Information overload and rapid technology changes are among the most significant challenges to all professions, particularly information technology workers and librarians. Little is known about the effectiveness of partnerships among librarians and faculty members that result in context-based library instruction. In this study, the authors evaluated one particular partnership focused on improving the information competence of management information systems undergraduates. A comparison of pre- and post library-instruction surveys showed that students developed greater confidence with course activities and higher standards in research. (Contains 3 tables.)
