Electronic Learning Feedback (Response) Graduate Students Graduate Study Library Research Distance Education Research Skills Information Literacy Library Skills Higher Education Pretests Posttests Citation Analysis Tutorial Programs Comparative Analysis Web Based Instruction Library Instruction Librarians Online Courses Computer Assisted Instruction Outcomes of Education Likert Scales Graduate students are a significant segment in online instruction programs, yet little is known about how well they learn the necessary library research skills in this increasingly popular mode of distance learning. This pre- and posttest study and citation analysis examined learning and confidence among students in graduate education programs, comparing students studying online tutorials, delivered via a course management system, with students receiving hands-on classroom instruction. Results support online information literacy instruction as equivalent in terms of learning. Student feedback, however, showed a statistically significant difference between groups in student satisfaction, with the face-to-face group being more satisfied. (Contains 1 figure and 3 tables.)
