- Graduate Student Research Instruction: Testing an Interactive Web-Based Library Tutorial for a Health Sciences Database Lechner, David L. Student Research Nursing Research Indexes Databases Scores Lecture Method Library Instruction Graduate Students Tutorial Programs Interaction Health Education Instructional Effectiveness Pretests Posttests Mastery Learning Interactive electronic tutorials offer flexibility in delivering library instruction; however, questions linger regarding their effectiveness compared to traditional librarian-led classroom lectures. This study examines a tutorial introducing health science students to the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature database. Half the student sample completed the tutorial and half attended a parallel lecture. A pre/post-test instrument measured mastery of the material. While results varied by subject focus tested, students completing the tutorial demonstrated greater improvement in post-test scores than those attending the lecture.
