Notes de l'éditeur
- We have had a long history of providing online bibliographic and information literacy instruction. In the early 2000s we were asked to develop an online 4 hour course for the school of graduate and professional studies. It was in tutorial format created and using the assessment tools found in Blackboard. The 4 hour class time was a live online chat session reviewing the materials. The tutorial was updated and reused many times both in online and classroom sessions.
- Our next foray into online deliver of bibliographic training came with the Research for Nursing and Allied Health Students funded by the National Network of Libraries of Medicine/Middle Atlantic States. This was a multi-lingual site with video and slide presentations in Korean, Mandarin and English. It was aimed at students in our Korean Nursing Program. There was a small assessment using ProProfs. The KNP students used the videos and slides. But, overall there wasn’t high usage.
- With funding from the NNLM/MAR and the Medical Library Association for different project we upgraded and added to our online offerings. The previously created LibGuide tutorial was brought over to a Google site. Eastern’s e-mail service is provided by Google. The move to Google Sites allowed us to control access to the eastern.edu domain. The Introduction to Health Sciences Research in the Library was developed and brought in-line with the information literacy guidelines of the Medical Library Association. Working with former student assistant and then University Albany, Heather Gorton, we developed online text book the National Library of Medicine for Health Sciences Research.
- General Education was a major topic among the committees during our last accreditation cycle. A question came to us whether we could create an online information literacy module that would meet a non-credit GE requirement. This would act as a baseline for all other info lit requirements. This would be added to the English Department’s College Writing course.
- Two years prior to the Middle State’s Joy Dlugosz and Andrea Reed worked with faculty from the English Dept. to coordinate information literacy instruction into college writing course. After middle-states we now had a two sided approach to delivering information lit instruction.
- It's all about verifying the credential.
