| contents | From the Classroom to the Boardroom: The Impact of Information Literacy Instruction on Workplace Research Skills Travis, Tiffini Research Methodology Program Effectiveness Research Skills Information Literacy Information Skills Library Instruction Performance Factors Workplace Literacy Library Role Education Work Relationship Minimum Competencies Graduate Surveys College Outcomes Assessment Instructional Effectiveness Since the wide-scale adoption of the ACRL "Information Literacy Standards" (2000), there have been numerous students who have graduated from universities that have formal library instruction programs. Currently there has been very little assessment of their post-graduate research skills or what role information literacy plays on workplace performance. The effect libraries have on graduates is not only of interest to librarians; the skills students gain in college have significant impact on costs and productivity in the workplace. The purpose of this study is to examine various factors that may contribute to continued and sustained use of information literacy skills beyond the college experience, and specifically, what competencies students identify as essential for their work. The results of this study offer insights for both librarians and the corporate world. (Contains 9 figures.) |
