“…Given the coverage similarities between LIS databases, the 453 actively indexed titles and our access, we believe that LISTA would help us capture a sizeable amount of LIS research. SCOPUS - We selected this article index to search to increase our access to international publications, especially in non-English speaking countries (Yoon et al ., 2023), and literature about teaching in higher-education contexts from a variety of other disciplines. Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) - We selected this nationally funded education database as a highly respected source of education scholarly journal articles and reports since 1966. Beyond including LIS literature, it also helps capture K-12 information literacy related content (Corby, 2009) which may be of interest to academic librarians. ProQuest Dissertations and Theses - Though ERIC and LISTA both contain theses and dissertations, we wanted to ensure inclusion of as many theses as possible for 2022 on the subject of information literacy, and this dedicated database assisted in that goal.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to present recently published resources on library instruction and information literacy. It provides an introductory overview and a selected annotated bibliography of publications organized thematically and detailing, study populations, results and research contexts. The selected bibliography is useful to efficiently keep up with trends in library instruction for academic library practitioners, library science students and those wishing to learn about information literacy in other contexts.Design/methodology/approachThis article annotates 340 English-language periodical articles, dissertations, theses and reports on library instruction and information literacy published in 2022. The sources were selected from the EBSCO platform for Library, Information Science and Technology Abstracts (LISTA), Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), Elsevier SCOPUS and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses. Sources selected were published in 2022 and included the terms “information literacy,” “library instruction,” or “information fluency” in the title, subject terms, or author supplied keywords. The sources were organized in Zotero. Annotations were made summarizing the source, focusing on the findings or implications. Each source was then thematically categorized and organized for academic librarians to be able to skim and use the annotated bibliography efficiently.FindingsThe paper provides a brief description of 340 sources from 144 unique publications, and highlights publications that contain unique or significant scholarly contributions. Further analysis of the sources and authorship are provided.Originality/valueThe information is primarily of use to academic librarians, researchers, and anyone interested as a quick and comprehensive reference to literature on library instruction and information literacy published within 2022.

“…Bu özellikler dikkate alındığında Google Akademik veri tabanı daha fazla yayına erişim imkanı sağlamasına rağmen tutarlılık ve güvenirlik kriterleri nedeniyle kapsam dışı bırakılmıştır (Mikki, 2009). ERIC veri tabanı ise eğitim temalı bir veri tabanı olmasına rağmen atıf istatistikleri içeren bir yapı sunmadığından analiz şartlarını sağlamadığı görülmüş ve kapsam dışında bırakılmıştır (Corby, 2009). Araştırmada WoS veri tabanı görece yüksek etki faktörüne sahip dergileri dizinlediği için kalite özelliğini (Bar-Ilan, Levene ve Lin, 2007;Jacso, 2005) , Scopus veri tabanı ise daha fazla sayıda akademik yayını dizinlediği için genel kapsayıcılığı temsil etmektedir (Ball ve Tunger, 2006).…”

“…Furthermore, it was find that research capability developed in three ways: through convening cognitive capabilities required for academic practice; cultivating informal tacit capabilities; and maintaining often unacknowledged backstage capabilities over durations that extend beyond the lifetime of individual projects (Donovan, Cian;Moon, Joshua;Michalec, Aleksandra, 2022). Corby (2009) stated that the Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) underwent substantial change during the 2004 construct cycle. Since it began in 1966, it has always been a highly respected and heavily used bibliographic resource, but some users are unaware of its status due to the recent changes in its format and availability.…”

“…According to Strayer's (2008) study, the effectiveness of the new Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) database offers training to those who teach education research as well as researchers themselves. Likewise, Corby (2009) said that ERIC's goal is to give educators and researchers access to a comprehensive, user-friendly, searchable, internet-based bibliographic and full-text database of education-related information.…”

This study attempted to determine the perceived effectiveness of Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) in enhancing students' research capability. A quantitative-correlational research design was utilized in this study, and a survey 4-point Likert scale were used. It was carried out using a simple random sampling technique on fifty (50) GAS students in grade 12 who used ERIC to complete their research at Dagatan National High School. This study employed mean, standard deviation, and Pearson product-moment of correlation. The data showed a significant relationship between the variables. Thus, it implies that the used of ERIC is effective in terms of improve practice in learning, decision making and research in enhancing students' research capability.
