“…Besides, there has been a tremendous increase in scientific research related to information literacy (Maddison, T., Doi, C., Lucky, S., & Kumaran, 2017). Much of this scientific and technical literature focuses on literacy skills of this kind (Koneru, 2010;Nagra, K. A., & Coiffe, 2010;Oud, 2009;Summey & Valenti, 2013;Turnbow & Roth, 2017), examples of particular initiatives (Clapp et al, 2013;Georgas, 2014;Holliday et al, 2006;Webb et al, 2017), reviews of best practices (Blummer & Kritskaya, 2009;Dewan & Steeleworthy, 2013;Fernández-Ramos, 2016;Munn & Small, 2017;Somoza-Fernández & Abadal, 2009), analysis of their main characteristics (Fernández-Ramos, 2016;Saunders, 2018;Somoza-Fernández & Abadal, 2009;Yang & Chou, 2014) or studies about their usefulness (Anderson & Mitchell, 2012;Fernández-Ramos, 2019;Haber & Mitchell, 2017;Schweikhard et al, 2018;Weightman et al, 2017).…”

The globalization of campuses has led to increasing numbers of international and exchange students. However, librarians often develop instructional opportunities for students from other countries with little understanding of how academic information literacy (IL) differs around the world. Using Mexico as an example, this study employs survey and focus group methods to examine how Mexican librarians understand and teach for IL within higher education . 1 Findings from this study are subsequently used to explore the design of more culturally appropriate learning experiences for international students in the United States. 2

Among many of these studies, the emphasis has been on using VLEs to teach information literacy on a generic level with the delivery of whole packages of information literacy courses (including developing search strategies, information platforms, search techniques, and evaluating and using information).…”

This article reviews literature on the use of virtual learning environments by highlighting their potential and the challenges of introducing the same in Tanzania. It introduces the concept of virtual learning environments by demonstrating their applications to support teaching and learning. The article discusses the use of virtual learning environments in teaching information literacy courses by highlighting the success of using such tools in facilitating the teaching of information literacy courses to library users. In this review, special emphasis is placed on attempts by Tanzanian institutions of higher learning to introduce web-based teaching of information literacy and the challenges faced. The review reveals the need for Tanzanian institutions of higher learning to develop virtual learning environments to facilitate the teaching of information literacy courses to students and faculty so as to reach many of those who may not manage to attend the face-to-face information literacy sessions that are offered by librarians on a regular basis.
