“…Faculty wishing to implement more authentic information seeking into their curricula partner with librarians on their campus to deliver expert instruction in this area, especially targeting using information in clinical scenarios (Haines & Horrocks, 2006). Because information-seeking behaviours are built and reinforced over time, librarian involvement in scaffolding information literacy throughout curricula is more effective and engaging than having librarians present only at orientation or in a research-focused course (Johnson-Grau, Archambault, Acosta & McLean, 2016).…”

Abstract Objective - Seeking information is a key element of evidence based practice and successful healthcare delivery. Significant literature exists on both the information seeking behaviour of professional nurses and information literacy teaching methods, but scarce evidence connects nurses’ information behaviour and environments with their education. This study sought to use data from nursing alumni to answer the following research questions: What are the current information practices of professional bachelor’s-prepared nurses? How do recently-graduated nurses suggest that their education could have better prepared them to find and evaluate information in the workplace? Methods - The researchers conducted a descriptive study using a 59-item survey instrument with a variety of question formats including short-answer, multiple choice, Likert, and open response. The researchers distributed the survey to baccalaureate nursing alumni who graduated in 2012-2017 from four universities in the state of Utah in the United States. Results - Nurses seek practical information primarily to provide informed patient care, while also clarifying medical situations and expanding their health care knowledge. They frequently consult nursing colleagues and physicians when seeking information. The majority of nurses consult electronic health records daily. Respondents described time as the biggest barrier to accessing information. They requested authentic, clinically-focused scenarios, training on freely-accessible resources, and more explicit teaching of lifelong learning skills, such as critical thinking. Conclusion - Information literacy education should prepare student nurses for the fast-paced information environment they will face in the workplace. This means incorporating more patient-focused scenarios, freely available quality resources, and time-based activities in their education. The researchers suggest areas to prepare nurses for information seeking, including problem-based clinical scenarios, building guides with databases accessible for free or little cost, and added emphasis on critical thinking and self-motivated learning.

“…A shared vision and compatible learning outcomes (Brasley 2008) form the basis for successful collaborations between library and sociology faculty. This sentiment is echoed from the library profession, as Johnson-Grau et al (2016:750) state, “authentic partnerships” formed between librarians and faculty are foundational in the work of inspiring information literate learners. In addition to the usual work of librarians as liaisons to university departments, instruction librarians are advancing collaborative work in new ways, including becoming embedded into courses with term-long commitments to their students and faculty (Summey and Kane 2017).…”

This article argues for the incorporation of library instruction into research methods courses to foster information literacy skills important to disciplinary specialization. The evidence in support emerges from a collaborative teaching and assessment project conducted by a research methods instructor and a faculty instructional librarian. The project evaluated the effectiveness of library instruction in two ways: One, essays in which students described their research process before and after library instruction were evaluated qualitatively for dominant themes. Two, students’ postinstruction literature review projects were assessed using a rubric to determine the degree to which students met learning outcomes. These assessments indicate that library instruction led to several positive outcomes. In the essays, many students described increases in skills and confidence as well as appreciation for the new research tools introduced. In sampled literature review assignments, students demonstrated skills that met or exceeded expectations.

“…Det siste har ofte blitt realisert gjennom å integrere bibliotekets undervisning i et fags undervisningsplan (se f.eks. Johnson-Grau, Archambault, Acosta & McLean, 2016;Torras i Calvo & Saetre, 2009). Når undervisningen skal gis i tverrfaglige sammenhenger, kan denne utfordringen oppleves enda mer kompleks.…”
