- Integrating Bibliographic Instruction for Distance Education Doctoral Students into the Child and Youth Studies Program at Nova Southeastern University. Tunon, Johanna Access to Information Assignments Curriculum Development Distance Education Doctoral Programs Higher Education Information Retrieval Information Sources Internet Library Instruction Online Searching Teacher Education Training World Wide Web This practicum was designed to help doctoral education students entering the Child and Youth Studies (CYS) program at Nova Southeastern University (NSU) feel more confident about accessing online resources and more comfortable about using online information technologies for their research. A method was developed for integrating bibliographic instruction (BI) into the curriculum that was implemented for CYS clusters starting the 1998/1999 academic year. CYS students were provided with face-to-face library instruction that built sequentially and developmentally. Training progressed from the program orientation to advanced training at the practicum orientation, and finished with optional hands-on training sessions at the CYS 1999 summer institute. BI was coupled with three performance-based library assignments. The on-site training and assignments were supplemented with a variety of print and "just-in-time" Web materials, as well as one-on-one help delivered synchronously and asynchronously. Doctoral CYS students benefited by having the library instruction integrated into their curriculum. Student satisfaction levels on surveys went up, use of Web resources increased, and, most importantly, students were better prepared to do the research for the literature reviews for their practicums.
