“…Most studies conducted on Internet-based career information sites focus on the perceived usefulness of their content and how much students like them rather than on the sites' usefulness to foster information literacy. In addition, because some graduate students lack basic research and information competence skills (Rockman, 2003), using an online tool such as the CRWP may be a useful way to increase students' computer literacy.…”

Counseling students need to become knowledgeable about existing online career development tools to provide effective career development services today. The authors describe the characteristics of a Web site developed to foster career information literacy among students taking graduate career courses and examine its academic usefulness. Student evaluations suggest that the Web site is useful in promoting career information literacy and knowledge. Students who used the Web site showed a significant gain in perceived self-knowledge as well as in actual knowledge of career information. Ways of using the career Web site to improve students' knowledge of online career resources are explored.Career development is a major component of most master's degree programs in counseling. To effectively help individuals with career decisions, counselors need to be aware of and comfortable with online career development tools and career information. Today, career counseling students must be able to access career information from a variety of sources, analyze and evaluate this information, and integrate it to construct a knowledge base from which to make informed decisions. Current ways of delivering career information, which include computer-and online-based systems such as the O*NET (onetcenter. org) and the online Occupational Outlook Handbook (Murray, 2003;Stevens & Lundberg, 1998), create a need for counselor educators to train students to acquire technical competencies, learn how to use technology effectively, and become career information literate. In this article, we describe a Web site that has been developed to foster career information literacy, review its academic usefulness, and discuss ways in which it can be used in career courses.

Information Literacy: Implications for Perioperative Nurses

The concept of information literacy may be new to some perioperative nurses; however, embracing this concept will help nurses identify situations that necessitate gaining more information, locate and access information sources, evaluate and analyze data, and cite information in compliance with copyright and fair use laws. The culture of health care is continually changing as a result of new technology and new methods to improve patient care, and this creates an information explosion. Perioperative educators should add information literacy as a strategic goal for obtaining Magnet status because it is foundational to evidence-based practice. Administrators also should advocate to obtain resources that will enable nurses to access information that addresses current patient care issues.

“…But recently, the principles and concepts have assumed new urgency because they are increasingly perceived as significant "new economy" skills (p.7). Rockman (2004) provided a number of case studies that document faculty and librarian collaboration to integrate library instruction into the curricula of various academic disciplines. McAskill (2008) points out that the rapid advances in information technology have led to greater pressure on academic librarians and teaching faculty to incorporate information literacy skills into the curriculum.…”

This paper describes a project in which an educational technology faculty member and a librarian collaborated to provide information literacy to doctoral students. The collaboration focused on meeting the needs of these graduate students. In addition to a required a face-to-face experience, these students with no prior experience of technology were exposed to the BlackBoard Virtual classroom and the virtual world sites of Second Life (SL). Through this project, the collaborators used the multiuser virtual environment of SL to demonstrate how information literacy, teaching and discussion groups can be successfully applied in a virtual environment. Both the librarian and educational technology faculty member embraced this delivery model to impart information literacy to doctoral students.
