Beile, O'Neil Penny. "Development and Validation of the Beile Test of Information Literacy for Education." Thesis, University of Central Florida, 2005. http://eprints.rclis.org/15856/1/B-tiled_diss.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
This text describes the development and validation of an information literacy assessment scale specific to education. Information literacy has been recognized by a number of professional organizations and accrediting bodies as an essential skill for success in the 21st century, and consequently has become a key learning outcome of a number of education programs. Teacher candidates are expected to teach and model information literacy skills to their students, yet rarely is it suggested that they are adequately prepared to do so. The scale described herein was developed to measure information literacy skills in the field of education in an effort to inform curricular and instructional decisions and to provide evidence of institutional effectiveness for program reviews. Test content is based on standards from the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL). The work has been recognized for its technical merit in describing validation procedures and for revisiting the discussion of traditional versus modern approaches to validating cognitive instruments.

Full textAbstract:
The amount and availability of information has increased considerably. As a result, there is a growing need for skills, not only in accessing information, but also in critically assessing its validity and quality. Consequently, user education has changed significantly and teaching information literacy has become a key component of academic libraries all around the world. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the current practice of training activities at Austrian university libraries. The focus is on the region of Vienna as it is rich in higher education institutions.
First, a review of literature is undertaken in order to describe the concept of information literacy. Hence important surveys, standards and models are analysed. Subsequently, an empirical study is carried out to investigate whether Austrian university libraries have as-sumed the responsibility of trying to help students to gain skills in information literacy. Therefore, qualitative interviews are conducted with librarians who are responsible for teaching information literacy at university libraries in Vienna. The interviews aim at obtain-ing qualitative data concerning content, design and organisation of training programmes.
The findings suggest that the current practice of teaching information literacy at university libraries in Vienna is heterogeneous. Various training activities could be identified, which are depended on academic discipline as well as personnel and financial resources. Further-more, the interviews indicate that there is a growing willingness to integrate user education into the academic curriculum. Moreover, an increasing tendency towards implementing e-learning tools to improve students' information literacy skills is recognisable.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to analyze, describe and evaluate how Information Literacy (IL) is being implemented in Spanish and Brazilian public university libraries and how IL can be incorporated into the student’s training while they are studying at the university. To accomplish this, a set of guidelines and recommendations have been proposed, which support the implementation of information competencies in the teaching-learning process. This work is based on an articulated theoretical framework and with a field research at 33 university libraries from public universities in Brazil and 28 public university libraries in Spain. The analysis of the empirical data was made using a quantitative and qualitative approach. Although different authors coincide that the integration of IL in the university student’s training life must be accomplished via the curriculum, the findings suggest that universities and their libraries find it difficult to integrate IL in a generalized and systematic manner into the study plan; moreover, they even find it difficult to integrate it gradually into the different levels. From this study we can conclude that between Spanish universities there is an strong trend to include IL in the student’s curriculum in most universities. In some of them IL even is included as institutional and transversal initiative. However, in Brazilian universities this kind of training is still in an introductory phase and represents a great challenge for most of them. Regarding integration strategies, universities are using different approaches that include IL courses out of the curriculum, sessions inside not IL courses, and specific IL courses as part of the curriculum. Courses and sessions can be taught individually as well as in groups and distributed at different moments during the student’s time at the university. The main institutional factors or requirements that have an effect on the stable, progressive and extended integration are: the acknowledgement of information competences in national and institutional educational policies, institutional support, the defining of institutional IL policies and the defining of collaboration and coordination mechanisms. Among the main educational factors, the following are noteworthy: the explicit acknowledgement of IL in educational study plans and guides, the planning of classes and the educational co-responsibility between librarians and professors, as well as the diagnostic, formative and summative evaluation. As barriers to integration we found out: the lack of understanding of the concept, the lack of institutional support, lack of personnel, very little collaboration between teachers and librarians and the lack of clarity regarding who is responsible for IL training. We conclude that in order to provide an equal opportunity for university students regarding information competences training, and guarantee and sustain the IL program in the long term, from an institutional perspective we must integrate it in the curriculum, in a transversal and mandatory manner, and design it to be taught gradually through the collaboration and co-responsibility between librarians and professors.

Full textAbstract:
As the increase in the quantity and the quality of the information makes the lifelong learning compulsory for all the members of the society, lifelong learning requires improvement of some skills like information literacy skills. Equipping individuals with the information literacy skills, such as defining the information needs, searching, finding, using and communicating information,
during their formal education requires that the teachers should posses these skills. Therefore, it is getting important for teacher candidates to graduate from the Faculty equipped with information literacy skills. The findings of this research carried out on the senior students attending Sakarya University Faculty of Education show that library facilities they owe as well as the education they get don’t let their information literacy skills to improve. Findings also prove that they are willing to attend information literacy training programs.

Full textAbstract:
The use of scientific information constitutes a highly valuable resource for research that promotes social development. It is a demand for Cuba to train doctoral students prepared for the proper use of scientific literature. This research is directed in this direction, which proposes a pedagogical conception for the development of informational skills in doctoral students. For this, the theoretical-methodological references that support the informational skills in doctoral students are systematized. With a dialectical materialist approach, different methods of the theoretical, empirical and statistical levels were used that allowed to characterize the doctoral training process and develop a pedagogical conception containing four components and the relationships that exist between them. From the implementation of this, an advanced level of informational skills is achieved in the doctoral students, which could be verified through the prospecting of scenarios, direct observation and the Iadov technique during training and the description of the results obtained that they confirm it.

Full textAbstract:
During the last two decades, mainly due to the huge increase of digital information accessible through Internet, user training by Higher Education (HE) libraries evolved from library instruction to elaborate information handling skills connected with student courses. Information Literacy (IL) has been defined as the set of capacities enabling an individual to understand when he needs information and has the skills to find, evaluate and exploit it effectively and ethically having learned how to learn. An international literature review demonstrated that IL instruction developments have being mainly taking place in HE libraries. Because IL instruction is a rather new development in Greek HE and relative research is limited, a survey including three questionnaires was performed with a main aim to describe how IL library instruction programmes are currently designed and delivered in Greek HE institutions which comprise 23 Universities and 16 Technological Educational Institutes (TEIs). Results from HE libraries showed that user instruction was offered by 77% of Greek HE institutions, while there were no course-integrated programmes or IL institutional policies. HE libraries employed various instruction techniques mainly targeting undergraduate and postgraduate students. Most libraries offered instructional programmes comprising basic library skills, while on average less than half of them included training on more advanced IL skills. In general IL instruction methods and content between University and TEI libraries were found to be similar. Instruction programmes were designed and delivered almost exclusively by librarians, usually not following any international IL standards, while in some Universities there was occasional faculty-librarian collaboration. Finally, Greek HE librarians considered that, although IL programmes are in their early stage of development, library instruction had a positive effect on the way students were handling information and listed course-integration and faculty-librarian collaboration as the best ways for the future development of IL programmes in Greek HE institutions.

Full textAbstract:
The globalization has plotted the course of the humanity, towards the conformation of the society of the information and the knowledge. Nevertheless, the deficiencies in the matter of habits and reading understanding, combined to the changing Technologies of the Information and the Communication (TIC), deepen the inequalities between prosperous and developing countries and individuals of a same nation, which throws lamentable numbers of functional illiteracy, informational and technological. Before such situation, the public libraries, like institutions of social and cultural character, must contribute in the processes of rectification of these deficiencies, as well as to the formation and consolidation of the reading society. In this direction, the investigation assumes the compared study of an intentional sample of reading plans, designed by organisms and international, national and regional institutions of iberoamerican countries, with the purpose of presenting a set of methodologic criteria for the planning of promotion of the reading, that allows the active participation of the public library in the construction of the society of the shared knowledge.

The main objective of this thesis is to develop some library intervention lines in relation to the Roma minority, analyzing different aspects as education, sociological matters, medical issues, etc. The specific objectives are: a) to review the existing library regulations and their suitability to minorities, especially gypsies; B) to observe the present function of the public library and especially its educational and social work; (c) to analyze and assess the different library services for the Roma minority in the European Union together with a range of library experiences in relation to minorities as a whole.
The research process has been developed in three different stages of elaboration: first, around a theoretical foundation based on bibliographic searches. Secondly, an experimental work after consulting experts and institutions on the Roma minority alongside with the author's personal experience. At the same time, in comparing this information with that offered by the website of those libraries that are developing actuations with the Gypsy minority. Finally, in an analysis of results based on work parameters created for this purpose.
Two types of results have been achieved: some practical ones which turn around a serie of guidelines (based on a multidisciplinary approach) and others of a formal nature, which act as tools in evaluating and organizing actions with minorities and whose final result is a set of tables that allow to collect all the specific information about the gypsy community, in order to analyze, compare and value any kind of library action with this group.
The entire process has allowed us to conclude that as we live in a multicultural society, the public library must be able to reflect this reality and be able to cope with it. However, the current library regulations are very limited not only in relation to minorities as a whole but also in relation to the Roma minority in particular. On the other hand, the librarian initiatives seen in the European Union have been sporadic and isolated, and so, integral, systematic and holistic actions are needed from very different fields. At the national level, this group requires specific actions that can only be developed based on the knowledge and study of their own and particular characteristics as a community.

This study is a proposal for the implementation of reading orientation and promotion modules in Metro de Caracas facilities as a new library service to address Caraqueños' reading needs. Issues regarding the Public Library Metropolitan Network such as the scope and inadequate supply of library services, lack of library policies and planning to promote reading, role alteration and conception of the public library are dealt with in this study since these issues have brought about people's lack of interest in public libraries and, as a result, in reading. Therefore, the modules can be an alternative to address these problems by providing the local layman and citizens with different options in socio-cultural, educational and informative services and products to contribute with the development and encouragement of reading in Venezuela.

Full textAbstract:
We present a diagnosis of the current situation of the Information Literacy formation given to the students from the Information Units of the University of the Republic. As a theoretical frame, a summary of the User Education concepts, Information Literacy and more, the importance of it in the Information Society, and a revision of the history and the current situation of the University and its Information Units, is presented. Since it is a diagnosis and there is a lack of previous investigations, this research is exploratory. The universe of this research includes all the libraries of the principal services of the University, specifically 23 from Montevideo and 3 from inland. The data was raised through a Web questionnaire, covering three dimensions: theoretical notions of Information Literacy and User Education, the importance in the University Students, and activities made about these. Among the most relevant conclusions, it is stood out that a superficial use exists in the Information Literacy concept, focusing this on the information treatment, or in the tools, in some cases. This concept is reassured, in the facts, in giving the formation. All the Information Units believe that this is very important for the students and they assume that it is from their competence, but in the practice the contents that are included are minimum and the frequency that is offered is very low. It is observed that without being fully aware of the topic some necessities have been detected in the students and incorporated activities from the Information Literacy in the Users Education. Finally, some recommendations are offered, in the way of action lines and investigation, expected to be taken as resources for future development of the subject.

Full textAbstract:
The majority of librarians at Canadian post-secondary institutions have recently attained faculty status. However, the collective agreements of the faculty associations do not always explicitly state that librarian members participate in all three traditional faculty activities: teaching, scholarship, and service. This study focuses on the membership of the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT), using qualifying member collective agreements and library websites. A qualitative approach is used to build upon the research first reported by Leckie and Brett (1995). Through description, analysis, and interpretation of data, I report that there is a disparity between what the collective agreements state regarding the teaching responsibilities of librarians and what the library websites advertise on behalf of teaching librarians. Three themes of library teaching emerge and two trends for collective agreements regarding post-secondary librarians teaching are considered.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this diploma thesis is to analyse the subject of bibliotherapy, its possible meanings and how these can be converted into versions using new media, especially the internet. First, bibliotherapy is seen in context with other forms of therapy and with regard to how they interact. Then, the history of bibliotherapy is outlined. To find a meaningful set of definitions, a special model is used. This part is continued with an examination of possible content, forms, addressees and approached problems in bibliotherapy.
As a method of research, a review of current journals in the field of behavioural medicine and psychiatry as well as traditional literature in the field is undertaken. Then, the way in which users can find health sites of high quality on the internet is discussed with special reference to consumer protection, legal and ethical issues. Information from interviews with librarians and other key-players in the field are used to highlight the Austrian situation regarding bibliotherapy and public libraries. Finally, some current developments in the UK are discussed. The findings suggest that there are mainly two ways of seeing bibliotherapy today. One is concerned with therapy using the written word, which can also be literature or poetry and therefore, in which librarians can play an important role. The other is more concerned with self-help manuals and here usually cognitive behavioural therapists or physicians are clearly involved and models of co-operations with libraries are developing.

Full textAbstract:
It intends to investigate the possibilities of virtual learning platforms as enabling environments for promoting information skills. For this study, is taken as reference the case of Virtual Learning Environment (EVA) at the Universidad de la República (UdelaR) and analyzed from the conceptual framework of information literacy. Virtual learning environments have widespread use in university education, their use reveals the possibility of new forms of learning, placing the student as the protagonist of the learning process. It’s because of this fact, which new questions appears about the teaching-learning process involving different aspects. Based on the principles of information science, this research focuses on the linked virtual environment issues (as a new context in which it is taught and learned) and information literacy from the perspective of information development skills mediated by the use of these platforms. The characteristics of information skills is analyzed and strategies for developing them in virtual environments is proposed. Qualitative methodology is used by performing a triangulation between bibliographic survey and systematization of information literacy in virtual environments, interviews and a case study. Based on documentary research on the core issues and transverse to the problem analysis categories (which represents information skills) that are tested through a case study with the EVA platform is proposed. This analysis is complemented by conducting interviews related to the Universidad de la República’s learning platform qualified informants. At the same time it carried out a survey and systematization of the main features of national and international information literacy experiences in virtual environments. Results highlights a number of characteristics of virtual learning environments that can promote the information skill development using the same as mediators and creating content that address the particularities of these environments. The need for university libraries are present in virtual learning environments it is observed as a must. It is expected that the results of the investigation, which specify alternatives for the promotion of a range of skills in information constitute useful inputs to generate information literacy programs through virtual environments. While obtaining new theoretical elements in the area of information literacy contribute to the training of future professionals of information that will have a national view of the problem in the context of the Universidad de la República. More specifically in the area of activity of the Facultad de Información y Comunicación is to contribute to the development of the research on information literacy, carried out under the PRODIC.

Full textAbstract:
The electronic information sources have become an integral part of the library services and they have a crucial role to play in the higher education. Undergraduate students depend their studies on electronic sources. However, electronic information sources cannot be used effectively without the necessary training by the library. The right instruction should be given to students on how each electronic source should be used. The evaluation of the information electronic sources though a survey on the students´ opinion is of equal importance. The survey can help the library to find the real educational needs of the students as regards the electronic sources, to discover any possible weaknesses in the whole process and to improve its electronic services.

Full textAbstract:
Gifted readers tend to have an outstanding reading competence. Accordingly, they show a great interest in books and read more (often) than their average peers. This thesis aims at identifying the reading interests of high ability readers. Additionally, there will be examined whether they follow their interest by using a library. If this is not the case, there will be shown how librarians can act in order to address this target group properly and how they can encourage these readers to become active library users. For this purpose concrete examples and advice will be given. First, a review of current literature is undertaken, in order to identify the state-of-the-art of the topic. The second part will address the results of qualitative interviews conducted with psychologists and gifted children. Psychologists have been questioned regarding ‚giftedness’. Furthermore they have been asked feedback on how to develop a survey on gifted children. The purpose of interviewing the children was to confirm what has been examined in the theoretical part about the reading of high ability readers and to answer the question whether these children are active users of the library.
The main outcome of this thesis is that in fact there is a positive correlation between giftedness and reading, which means that high ability readers are inveterate readers and attach high value to reading. The findings suggest that no organised learning opportunity is more valuable than a library in the education of the gifted. By giving concrete examples, librarians are provided with recommendations on how to focus on this target group. Accordingly high ability readers themselves should benefit from the findings of this thesis.

Full textAbstract:
The study was motivated by the need to find out the factors that determined team based learning in tertiary institutions in Ede, Osun State, Nigeria. The researcher observed that the rate in which students in tertiary institutions get involved in team based learning is considerably high. It was also observed that very little has been done to assess the factors that determine the use of mobile technologies and academic and research libraries for team based learning by undergraduate students. The case study research method was adopted to carry out the study in three tertiary institutions in Ede, Osun State, Nigeria. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the one thousand one hundred undergraduate students that constituted the study’s sample population. The questionnaire was adopted as the study’s data collection instrument. The simple percentage score was used as the study’s data analysis technique. The study revealed three indicators of human factors namely, trust, sense of competition and willingness to share knowledge as the human factors that impact the extent to which mobile technologies are used to facilitate communication among members of team based learning groups. The study also revealed three indicators namely, space, rules outlawing group discussion and rules outlawing use of mobile technologies as factors prevalent in academic and research libraries that determine the use of academic and research library by members of team based learning groups. The study concludes that human factors are instrumental to the extent to which mobile technologies can support team based learning and that academic and research libraries must reassess their rules and regulations from the point of view the requirements of team based learning needs. Recommendations were made to students on how to manage human factors and academic and research libraries on how to implement rules that will not hamper team based learning. The study is useful to students, lecturers, librarians and administrators of tertiary institutions.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis is originally written in English, and a full translated version in Indonesian is also available.
Since 2001, a movement of individuals, neighbourhood and community organizations and NGOs starting and running their own libraries has emerged in Indonesia. Called Taman Bacaans (TBs) - reading gardens - these simple libraries, often hosted in somebody’s house, or in a community building, provide easy and informal access to books, as well as frequent literacy programming. This thesis traces the historical heritage of these TBs back to the early renting libraries of peranakan Chinese in the 19th century, through Balai Pustaka and the public library movement under Sukarno. The modern TB emerges in the 1980s, the government attempts a wide-scale implementation of TBs in the 1990s, and a community movement finally emerges in 2001.
Using interviews with informants and newspaper articles, blogs, mailing lists, and NGO and government reports, I describe the process of how the TB movement emerges in Bandung and Yogyakarta. I also identify a number of factors that enabled and supported the movement: inspiring individual role-models, “best-case” libraries, networks and the roles of Islam and nationalism. Finally I provide an overview of the situation today, combining government statistics with the results of a survey conducted in Jakarta, and show that there are three kinds of TBs: those set-up by national, regional or local government (TBMs), those funded by large-scale donors, and independent TBs grounded in the local communities. I conclude with a number of recommendations for government and donors.

Full textAbstract:
Education in citizen participation must be provided from a very early stage in those spaces where young boys and girls live together with people with whom they share social links, such as their home, their neighborhood or their school. For children growing up in Bogotá and attending public or private schools, the first contact with citizen participation, beyond their classes on democracy and the country’s political constitution, takes place when they vote to elect their fellow student council’s representatives.
Over the last years the (information) literacy issue has gained space in both individual and collective efforts to make it a basic social, democratic, and participative matter within the all embracing framework marked by the society-technology relationship. In this sense, information literacy is also an attempt (beyond the problem of literal access to public information) to foster critical thinking vis-à-vis curriculum contents.
Thus, we consider that dealing with the concept of citizen participation goes beyond its topicality and should be developed not only from the public library but also through initiatives that arise from society’s actual concerns in order to awaken the participants’ interest.
To achieve the aforesaid, herein we present the design and results of a program that aims at developing information skills to access, ponder, and use public information in order to encourage citizen participation. Keeping in mind that our society is now facing challenges that call for citizens capable of hurdling them, it is essential to start developing such skills from a very early age to allow children, youngsters and their communities to behave and be recognized as citizens who are responsible for their actions in both the real and the digital world.

Full textAbstract:
In this work, it was pointed out the infocommunicational competences as a possibility to educate for information in university libraries, based on actions developed by librarians. University libraries are drivers to promote infocommunication skills, playing an essential role in the formation of the academic community, as well as serving as a support for information, in addition to supporting the four pillars of the university: teaching, research, extension and innovation. Under the issue of investigating whether university librarians understand the problem of misinformation as their own and how infocommunication skills can help fight misinformation, the objective of this research is to analyze the implications of infocommunication skills in fighting misinformation in the scope of action of librarians who they work in university libraries. Supported by a theoretical framework, the dissertation discusses the phenomenon of disinformation, the role of university libraries in society, the attribution to librarians of combating disinformation, the impacts of disinformation on democracy in a post-truth scenario and the importance of education for information through the promotion of infocommunication skills. In an empirical collection, based on interviews with university librarians from the south of Rio Grande do Sul, it was discovered how and if the professionals are acting in the fight against misinformation, and how and how their responsibility to combat misinformation is understood. The research uses qualitative, descriptive and exploratory methods, using for data analysis the French-line discourse analysis and elements of infocommunication skills, by Borges (2018, appendix), to relate the actions described by the interviewees with each competence in information and in Communication. Furthermore, the levels of information literacy in university libraries by Uribe-Tirado and Pinto (2014) are considered, in order to show whether the actions promoted have a more consistent focus on training or on literacy/promotion of infocommunicational skills. From the empirical research, the actions that are promoted by the interviewed librarians were listed, relating to infocommunicational skills, in which it could be seen that information skills are usually promoted more than communication skills. It was also observed that the interviewees are concerned with the phenomenon of misinformation and consider it a strong point for their professional performance, but they still do not develop actions that educate for information, with an autonomous or political bias, and do not promote infocommunicational skills yet. in their daily activities, in the case of level initiatives with a greater instrumental focus, which would be level 2 by Uribe-Tirado and Pinto.

Full textAbstract:
Social Sciences have a relevant importance, because they assist individuals to make sense of the social world and to situate their ideas, fears, interests, values and relationships at the center of the social processes they reflect and configure. However, a diagnosis made in the main doctoral programs of the Pedagogical Sciences in Cuba revealed deficiencies and deficiencies that led to the formulation of the scientific problem of the present investigation: insufficiencies in the process of interpretation of the social reality, in relation to its qualitative and complex nature, which limits the scientific performance of professionals. The object of the research is, therefore, the scientific research process of the Social Sciences and its field of action: the dynamics of information processing in the Social Sciences research process. The main research results are: a model of the dynamics of information processing in social investigations, which becomes an integrative didactic method for such processing, as a theoretical contribution, and a system of methodological procedures for processing information in the social investigations, as a practical contribution. It is revealed as essential regularity, the integrating logic between the understanding of the validity and reliability of social information and the systematization of the synthesis and the concretion of this information, consistent with a qualitative and quantitative processing of it. The pertinence and scientific feasibility of the research results was assessed satisfactorily through a consultation with experts and the corroboration of the partial application of the system of methodological procedures.

Full textAbstract:
The dissertation presents the outputs of a research carried out during the second semester of 2014 and the first semester of 2015 at Vasconcelos Public Library, located in Buenavista, a neighborhood in Mexico City. The public library is used as a methodological strategy of
public space or equipment observation. An ethnographic approach is primarily used, as well as a combination of methods in the several descriptive stages of the space, and for the registry of usage, practices and experiences of the library by users and visitors.
The first chapter presents a general overview of the library using the information gathered in a survey applied to users and visitors (BV-CNCA, 2014). Following, a description of the spaces and activities carried out by users is presented in an ethnographic narration. Finally, everyday experiences of users and visitors are presented.
The research shows how the conceptions and values around the library’s materiality (features, place configuration or layout, location) and immateriality (conceptions, imaginaries, experiences) influence the way of using and thinking about this equipment. The study concludes that this public architecture spatializes experiences that give a new meaning to the public library as an equipment of urban life, both indoor and outdoor, expanding its present and future history as a public space.

Full textAbstract:
From the end of the XX century the librarian field has been revising and reinventing an educative aspect, which is known in Spain as “users' training” or "users' education" (formación de usuarios), giving birth to a new expert knowledge called information literacy.
Information literacy is conventionally conceived as a protocolized process, a set of stages (determine the need, access, evaluate and use and communicate information), which seeks to make users competent in the use, process and efficient management of information. From the field of librarianship, information literacy is usually seen as a given, natural, reality and it is generally studied from technical and managerial perspectives that are not used to leave the field itself (the analysis focus on standards and indicators, models, strategies of applicability, assessment, etc.). From our point of view, this is an insufficient optic to understand the social and political significance of both the library institution, the activity of its staff and the discursive constructions it produces.
Among the contributions of the study, one which really stands out is that information literacy, that new expert knowledge made up into different models from the end of XX century, is seen not as something natural or a necessary result of the evolution of the librarian world, but as a social construct, which arises in a specific time. The whole of meanings, practices, values, knowledge, etc., that different social groups and agents assign to this new literacy is identified as informational discourse.
