Kritskaya, Olga Academic Libraries Information Literacy Information Skills Library Services Best Practices Tutorial Programs Instructional Design Literature Reviews Library Instruction Online Courses Online Searching Search Strategies Educational Theories In the digital era, information literacy skills enable users to locate and use online materials effectively. One persistent library service for libraries is providing skills training to students. This article traces the creation of online library instructional tutorials, currently referred to as digital learning objects, in academic libraries. It isolates the factors that improve the success of these learning tools, including knowledge of the tutorials' purpose and potential, collaboration with other individuals, the use of standards, student engagement, and evaluation. The literature review also illustrates the incorporation of multimedia learning theories and assessment strategies in these tutorials.
