“…This pedagogical strategy allows students to acquire knowledge and skills through engaging in projects based on issues and challenges they encounter in the real world (Shin, 2018). This model has been utilized in studies concerning information-seeking with positive outcomes (Saliba et al, 2017; Tarasova et al, 2021). Wenger (2014: 142) argues that many of the information-seeking skills that students need to conduct successful research are difficult for librarians to teach due to student overreliance on search engines and the time constraints of one-shot instruction sessions; thus, PjBL is required.…”

Information literacy skills are crucial for academic and everyday success. Using various pedagogical techniques, librarians reach out to their users and equip them with the skills necessary to utilize the available information effectively. The study aimed to determine the members’ perceptions of their information-seeking behaviour and how much the book club had contributed to improving their information-seeking abilities. The study population consisted of 49 book club members, from whom a survey and focus group interview gathered data. The study reveals that the book club improves information-seeking training initiatives, practices and librarian engagement. This study can be used to advocate for and enhance library book clubs as platforms for enhancing instruction of information-seeking processes. It can also motivate further research into this phenomenon.

Interdisciplinary integration of theory and practice is imperative as a course requirement in emerging engineering education, and in the public elective course "Machine Vision Algorithm Training". Considering the entire teaching process, including pre-training, in-training, and post-training, this paper discusses the course construction and content in detail in terms of project-based learning (PBL). The PBL teaching approach and evaluation methods are described in detail through a comprehensive face recognition training case based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) and Raspberry Pi. Through project design training from shallower to deeper, interdisciplinary integration of theory and practice is cultivated, stimulating interest in course study. The results demonstrate that PBL teaching improves the engineering application and innovative abilities of students.
