“…39 Luo (2010) provides a practical snapshot of how some academic librarians are employing blogs, wikis, social bookmarking sites, YouTube, and bibliographic management tools for information literacy. 40 Some of the benefits of podcasting outlined by Berk et al (2007) include its appeal to Millennials and the usefulness for English as a second language (ESL) students or auditory learners who can replay the information at will.…”

“…In this sense it is preferable to choose technology options that are mainstream or easy to integrate with the technology to which most students will have access (Pastula, 2010). While the technology costs might be balanced with savings in travel costs if librarians are not going out to meet with distance students in person, there is also a time cost.…”

“…Anderson and May (2010) conducted a study comparing the retention of information literacy skills of a group of first year college students when they were given instruction either face-to-face, online only, or in a blended format and concluded, based on student scores on pre-and post-tests, that the method of instruction does not influence students' retention of IL skills. From the students' perspective, online IL tutorials are attractive because they offer flexibility; they can be accessed at any time and paused or repeated as desired (Pastula, 2010;Reid, 2009). Many distance students choose distance education precisely for its flexibility and as such, support services should offer the same degree of flexibility as much as possible.…”

Information literacy instruction for satellite university students

Library Administration at the University of Lethbridge recently decided to explore options for providing information literacy instruction to students enrolled in the introductory academic writing course at the University's two satellite locations. This was motivated both by fiscal restraints as well as a desire to explore using information technology to provide enhanced library service to satellite campus students on an ongoing basis. After conducting an extensive literature review, a scan of practices for distance learning in libraries at other institutions, and exploring a variety of technological options, it was decided that information literacy sessions would be provided at these campuses via a live Skype video call. In the Fall of 2010, this was attempted with five sections of Writing 1000. Despite some technical challenges, this pilot was determined to be largely successful. In the Spring 2011 term a similar project was undertaken with some minor modifications based on the lessons learned in the previous term. In addition, students were provided with additional information literacy instruction via online tutorials that were developed for Writing 1000 students at all three locations, including the main campus. This paper provides a broad outline of the current climate in adult information literacy for distance education students according to our research. The successes, challenges and lessons learned from our pilot project are also shared.

Resumen: La formación de competencias informacionales mediante tutoriales en línea es una práctica cada vez más frecuente en bibliotecas universitarias. En este trabajo se revisa la literatura científica con el fin de detectar los factores que condicionan el éxito de estos tutoriales, desde el punto de vista de los procesos a seguir en su desarrollo y de las características que deben tener. Para ello se analizan las propuestas de carácter teórico y tres tipos de estudios de carácter práctico: los que recogen opiniones de los usuarios, evaluaciones de tutoriales concretos en los que se expliciten los factores que hayan influido en los resultados y comparaciones de tutoriales con características diferentes. Se observa que, aunque la literatura identifica numerosos factores, solo unos pocos, como la brevedad, la inclusión de actividades prácticas, la relación con el currículum, la facilidad de uso o la colaboración con profesores, se mencionan de forma recurrente.Palabras clave: Alfabetización informacional; tutoriales; formación en línea; bibliotecas universitarias; evaluación; buenas prácticas. Success factors in online information literacy tutorials. Systematic reviewAbstract: Information literacy instruction using on-line tutorials is nowadays widely used across university libraries. In this article, the corresponding scientific literature is reviewed with the aim of detecting on-line tutorials' success factors from the point of view of both their characteristics and their development processes. We analyzed theoretical studies and three types of practical studies: users' opinions, evaluations of specific tutorials where factors influencing the results are specified, and comparisons among tutorials with different characteristics. Although many factors are mentioned in the literature, results show that only a few are recurrently identified as successful, such as conciseness, ease of use, provision of learning activities, faculty-librarian cooperation or relation to curriculum. 39(2), abril-junio 201639(2), abril-junio , e126 ISSN-L:0210-0614. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.3989/redc.201639(2), abril-junio .2.1291 ESTUDIOS / RESEARCH STUDIES Rev.
