Results from a survey concerning the effects of information literacy instruction (ILI) on business students are presented. The effects of ILI on student learning outcomes, and the influence of ILI on the adoption and use of online library resources and the mediating effects of self-efficacy and anxiety are examined.Sont présentés ici les résultats d'une étude sur les effets de la maîtrise de l'information sur l'enseignement aux étudiants de gestion des affaires. L'étude s'intéresse également à ces effets sur les objectifs d'apprentissage, à leur influence sur l'adoption et l'utilisation de ressources bibliothécaires en ligne, ainsi qu'aux effets médiateurs de l'auto-efficacité et de l'angoisse.

Objective – To ascertain the factors influencing student learning during information literacy instruction (ILI) and create a theoretical model based on those factors. Design – Mixed methodology consisting of interviews and an assessment test. Setting – Three Canadian business schools. Subjects – Seven librarians, 4 library administrators, 16 business faculty, and 52 undergraduate business students were interviewed, and the Standardized Assessment of Information Literacy Skills (SAILS) test was administered to 1,087 undergraduate business students across three different business schools. Methods – The authors used an interview script to conduct interviews with librarians, library administrators, business school faculty, and undergraduate business school students at three business schools in Canada. The authors also administered the SAILS test to undergraduate business students at the same three Canadian business schools. Main Results – ILI works best when it is related to an assignment, part of the curriculum, periodically evaluated, adequately funded, timely, mandatory, interactive, uses handouts, provides the proper amount of information, and favourably viewed within the school. ILI student learning outcomes are affected by whether the students find the ILI beneficial and relevant, their year in the program, gender, status as international or domestic student, and overall academic achievement. Conclusion – Creation of theoretical model consisting of the three main factors influencing student learning outcomes in information literacy instruction: learning environment, information literacy components, and student demographics.

A significant challenge facing Canadian business schools is how best to work with librarians to incorporate information literacy instruction in curriculum and program designs. This study addresses the question: what is the interplay between factors of the learning environment and information literacy program components on business student learning outcomes?La meilleure façon de travailler conjointement avec les bibliothécaires dans le but d’intégrer les compétences informationnelles aux cours et aux programmes d’études constitue un défi important pour les écoles de gestion au Canada. Cette étude répond à la question suivante : Quelle est l’interaction entre les facteurs que sont l’environnement d’étude et les composantes de programmes de compétences informationnelles sur les résultats d’apprentissage des étudiants en gestion?

Practical Implications

Purpose – The purpose of this paper if to design a workshop that effectively facilitates the collaborative revision of student learning outcomes based on current research relating to competencies in information literacy (IL). Design/methodology/approach – This case study describes collaborations between librarians and writing instructors throughout an eight-week workshop. The workshop focused on using the results of assessments to revise learning outcomes and restructure instruction practices to help students in the areas they struggle with the most. Three significant frameworks, including threshold concepts, backward design and decoding the disciplines, were used to facilitate effective discussion and revise learning outcomes. Findings – The structure of the workshop based on three key frameworks stimulated innovation, fostered collegiality, prompted future collaborative opportunities and garnered buy-in for the importance and implementation of IL initiatives. This collaboration served as a pilot workshop for future plans to write and revise IL outcomes with other departments across campus. Practical implications – This study can serve as a model for future collaborations with any department faculty, especially when IL learning outcomes need to be articulated or revised. The frameworks described are particularly helpful for guiding this process. Originality/value – While much is written on librarian collaborations, this case study emphasizes the importance of creating even closer collaborative opportunities that place both non-library faculty and teaching librarians on equal footing, allowing everyone in the workshop to take part in the design and implementation of integrating IL into a program. It also gives concrete ways to use threshold concepts to discuss IL issues with faculty, which is a major focus of the newly drafted Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education.

Creating an interactive and engaging school library environment for your school community is an important prerequisite to establishing a creditable identity with teaching staff, which in turn, leads to opportunities to develop collaborative curriculum programs. The library and its personnel must be perceived as a hub for learning and part of the core business of the school by the whole community, including senior administration, teachers, students and parents. Such an environment demonstrates the value adding to the curriculum, literacy, information literacy and student learning outcomes that occur when professional library staff are part of the staffing equation in a school.

Due to the recent call for the need to change information literacy instruction for 21st century skills, many scholars, educators, and librarians are exploring gamification as a teaching and learning pedagogy for information literacy instruction, design, and assessment for student learning. The research literature provides an overview of various information literacy tools, teaching methods, and pedagogies suggested by scholars and educators for improving information literacy instruction and student learning. Based on results from empirical studies, to improve information literacy outcomes for undergraduate students, especially literacy gains for at-risk or underperforming students, gamification can be used as a conceptual framework for pedagogy assessment for teaching and learning.
