Information literacy competency standards for students : Compétences informationnelles des étudiantes et étudiants : mesure de l'efficacité des initiatives en culture informationnelle au palier postsecondaire

The first of two Course-based models was delivered by the library information staff – with the support of the faculty – to students in the course “College Communications.” Joanne Fowlie, Business Librarian, developed and delivered the course “Foundation to Business Research,” which was the second Course-based delivery. [...] The sections that follow include the examination of an information literacy framework, a description of the information literacy models used in this study, followed by the methodology, findings, discussion of best practices, and recommendations. [...] The next class visit demonstrates and discusses searching in the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) database, and reviewing the requirements for the information literacy assignment, which is worth 10 per cent of the course mark. [...] Each of the librarians involved in the development of the delivery methods was asked to map the content of the delivery against the ACRL Information Literacy Standards using a mapping document. [...] These indices were created to quantify the scales of participation and comfort level questions and aid in the comparison of the information literacy models studied.
