“…Namun, sebagian besar sekolah pada tingkat SMA khususnya di Indonesia seringkali tidak secara strategis memprioritaskan pengembangan literasi informasi (Tsunekage et al, 2019). Literasi informasi diperlukan dalam upaya untuk mempersiapkan masa depan siswa dalam memecahkan masalah yang terjadi pada saat ini, termasuk mengambil keputusan dalam dunia kerja yang akan dihadapi siswa kelak maupun dalam permasalahan sehari-hari (Fuselier et al, 2017).…”

The 21st century is very closely related to science and technology, so the demands of human resources are needed in order to be able to master various forms of skills. Information literacy is a very important ability for everyone when they are in the realm of biology, especially students. However, most schools at the high school level, especially in Indonesia, often do not strategically prioritize the development of information literacy. The use of the Personal Digital Inquiry learning model on the material of the human reproductive system can be used as a way to provide students with information literacy.This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of the application of the Personal Digital Inquiry learning model in improving students' information literacy on the material of the human reproductive system. This research uses a quasi-experimental method. The research design used was a non-equivalent control group design. The sample in this research were two classes, namely students of class XI IPA, amounting to 35-40 people. The instrument used is a multiple choice information literacy test with 10 numbers related to the material of the human reproductive system. Based on the results of information literacy data obtained from the pretest and posttest scores, the experimental class experienced a higher increase than the control class. The results showed that the experimental class had a higher N-gain than the control class. This shows that the use of the Personal Digital Inquiry learning model is able to improve and train students' information literacy.

“…Also, their tasks should be integrated with information literacy. Even, some research findings reveal that integrating information literacy skills into Biology class increases students' ability to select, integrate, and cite high-quality scientific information sources [13], [28], [29].…”

Today's world necessitates information literacy and communication abilities. Mastery of information literacy and communication skills has a long-term impact on students' careers, hence information literacy and communication skills should be taught from the beginning of the lecture, while students are still in first year. This study aimed to assess information literacy skills and communication skills of students in Biology department, State University of Makassar. The population of this study was all first year students (six classes), in the academic year of 2018/2019, who took the General Biology Course. Three classes (N = 112) became samples of this research. The research instruments were rubric of information literacy skills and communication skills. Two observers were employed to examine students skill occurring in four meetings course. The study found that Biology student information literacy skills are generally in progress level. Meanwhile, the majority of the students’ communication skills are in able tier level (level 2). The results of mapping information literacy and student communication skills can be used as input for educators in designing learning.

“…Integrating an embedded librarian is often not a realistic approach due to course size, demanding time requirements, and university budgetary constraints. Many undergraduate science courses are designed with extremely content-heavy curricula, which complicates integration of IL lessons (Gregory 2013;Fuselier et al 2017). Librarians have tried a variety of approaches to instruction in large undergraduate biology courses, including traditional one-shots, training teaching assistants in IL instruction, and online tutorials.…”

The University Libraries at the University of New Mexico reconfigured their established library instruction program for biology as part of a broader grant-funded essential skills workshop series for STEM students. This initiative standardized supplementary instruction through seven in-person and online workshops delivered to students through the Biology Department’s four core undergraduate laboratory courses. Post-workshop feedback data were gathered from students throughout the two-year grant period. The present study analyzes this data set—including 3,797 completed student surveys from both library and non-library workshops over the course of four semesters—with the goal of understanding STEM student perceptions of the value of information literacy skills as compared to the general and disciplinary value of other essential intellectual and practical skills. The findings suggest that undergraduate biology students generally perceive information literacy to be among the most valuable and relevant skills introduced through the workshop series. The results have the potential to inform information literacy instruction practices and collaborative efforts with broader essential skills education programs.
