“…18 Jessica Hutchings and Malia Willey surveyed 47 colleges and universities in Louisiana in 2014 and found that credit-based IL course offerings are at 32 percent. 19 Otis Chadley and Jacquelyn Gavryck looked at 72 ARL libraries in 1989 and reported that 33 percent of them offer credit-based IL courses. 20 The literature offers a rich picture of prevalence of credit-bearing IL efforts that are underway at U.S. academic libraries.…”

This article identifies variations that are within the credit-bearing information literacy (IL) programs of a group of similar libraries: Idaho State University's peer institutions that have been formally designated by the Idaho State Board of Education. This group of institutions shares two common characteristics-that is, they are public and are doctoral-granting schools-and vary in many others, according to Carnegie classification system data. Motivated by a desire to evaluate the current status of their own instruction program within the context of the university's official peer institutions, the authors gathered reported data from their peers and coupled these data with information from personal interviews with the coordinators of instruction at peer institutions. This method of collecting the data provided context for the interview questions that would follow and revealed nuanced qualitative ideas and issues such as best practices within this cohort. The process of scoping the study, identifying comparisons with peers and analysis of results, will be useful to other libraries making decisions about the impact and directions of their instruction programs.

“…[18][19][20] Indeed, the importance of information literacy as a subset of skills need for lifelong learning was emphasised as being of prime importance by a number of workers over many years. 1,13,21,22 Referencing strategies that engineering students use 'to synthesise and cite information from sources in composing their literature review' was considered to be of vital importance to engineers. 23 Producing an information-literate student who is knowledgeable about finding, retrieving, analysing, and effectively using information is a common goal amongst librarians.…”

The present work explores the research question: do capstone engineering students perceive that different learning and teaching modes improve their referencing and citation skills? Two different teaching and learning modes of instruction were implemented for demonstration and training on the use of engineering databases and bibliographic information retrieval resources: i.e. small group and large group. A survey was conducted of students' perception of the mode of instruction in both a large class format and the small-class hands-on environment. Analysis of the survey data yielded an overall positive response from students to the implementation of computerised bibliographic software for both class formats. However, this study found compelling evidence that students highly value the intensive instruction in a small group to assist them in improving their use and understanding of citations in written documentation.
