contents The Effect of Information Literacy Training on Graduate Students' Ability to Use Library Resources Zhao, Shuzhen Luo, Rong Sabina, Christine Pillon, Karen Graduate Students Information Literacy Training Library Materials Information Seeking Knowledge Level Foreign Countries Library Research Control Groups Library Instruction Attendance Patterns Self Evaluation (Individuals) This study assessed the influence of information literacy training on graduate students' self-rated ability to search using academic databases and the internet to find information, as well as their objective information literacy skills through a survey in 2017 at the University of Windsor. After controlling for a comprehensive set of covariates, there was not a statistically significant difference in self-rated searching ability between students with training and those without any training. However, the trained students' average objective assessment scores in the five dimensions of information literacy were significantly higher than those of students without any training at the significant level [alpha]=0.05.
