“…The reliability of self-assessment has been widely debated (see Blignaut and Els, 2010;Ivanitskaya et al, 2004 andLangendyk, 2006). Adetoro et al (2010) and Kurbanoglu et al (2006) suggest high self-efficacy perception for information literacy is essential for lifelong learning and is best measured by the use of a self-report scale. It is beyond the scope of this paper to discuss self-efficacy, but it is interesting to note the findings of Beile and Boote (2004), who suggest that library instruction has a positive effect on both self-efficacy levels and learning outcomes.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to examine post-graduate health promotion students' self-perceptions of information literacy skills prior to, and after completing PILOT, an online information literacy tutorial. Design/methodology/approach -Post-graduate students at Queensland University of Technology enrolled in PUP038 New Developments in Health Promotion completed a pre-and post-self-assessment questionnaire. From 2008-2011 students were required to rate their academic writing and research skills before and after completing the PILOT online information literacy tutorial. Quantitative trends and qualitative themes were analysed to establish students' self-assessment and the effectiveness of the PILOT tutorial. Findings -The results from four years of post-graduate students' self-assessment questionnaires provide evidence of perceived improvements in information literacy skills after completing PILOT. Some students continued to have trouble with locating quality information and analysis as well as issues surrounding referencing and plagiarism. Feedback was generally positive and students' responses indicated they found the tutorial highly beneficial in improving their research skills. Originality/value -This paper is original because it describes post-graduate health promotion students' self-assessment of information literacy skills over a period of four years. The literature is limited in the health promotion domain and self-assessment of post-graduate students' information literacy skills.

“…Adetoro (2011) argues that information seeking and use are social activities, the success of which requires effective social and relationship skills such as emotional and behavioural regulation, peer-relation skills, effective communication, self-assertion abilities, social problem-solving and conflict-resolution skills. Social competency is exemplified by library users' ability to establish, sustain and develop beneficial relationships with other people in their professional, personal and community circles.…”

“…En plus d'être un facteur d'aide à l'inclusion sociale (Lloyd, Lipu & Kennan 2010), la maîtrise informationnelle est un critère d'évaluation du niveau de développement des sociétés (Simoncic & Vuckovic 2010) et un outil de compréhension (Catts 2012) utilisé auprès des jeunes adultes pour évaluer leur performance quant au traitement et à la compréhension de documents (Kirsch & Mosenthal 1990). Notion relative à l'apprentissage, la littératie informationnelle est largement étudiée dans le domaine de l'éduca-tion (Kong & Li 2009) pour évaluer les institutions scolaires (Nyamboga 2004 ;Baro & Keboh 2012), les étudiants (Kavanagh 2011) et la perception qu'ils ont de leurs compétences (Singh 2005 ;Adetoro, Simisaye & Oyefuga 2010 ;Pinto 2012). La prise en compte de la perception aide les chercheurs à comprendre les comportements informationnels des jeunes : la perception de leurs propres stratégies de recherche d'information a un impact sur leur perception de l'information (KyungSun & Sei-Ching 2007).…”

Cette étude qualitative de contenu vise à interroger les concepts de société de l’information et d’infobésité auprès d’un petit groupe d’étudiants par l’entremise d’un questionnaire en ligne. Des représentations artistiques de ces concepts ont été présentées aux répondants afin d’évaluer leurs perceptions. Les résultats obtenus mettent l’accent sur la valeur de l’information, une forte présence de la communauté et révèlent également un rapport au temps singulier. Les données ont été analysées à la lumière d’un cadre conceptuel comprenant quatre auteurs : Daniel Bell, Manuel Castells, Roland Barthes et Lev Manovich.Using an online questionnaire, this qualitative content study examined the concepts of information society and information overload with a small group of students.
