The 200-page study looks closely at the information
literacy efforts of North American colleges and universities,
presenting findings from a survey of more than 50 colleges and
universities. The report gives highly detailed data on library
use of personnel for instructional purposes, trends in the
number of in-class presentations, number of instructors used,
students served and classes given. It pinpoints librarian
opinion on the information literacy skills of their students
in catalog, e-book and database use, facility with QR codes,
search engine use, and use of special collections, among other
areas. It serves as a guide to how students and information
literacy instructors are assessed and what is the role of
information literacy in college orientation. The report also
gives detailed data on information literacy training
requirements for graduation and on information literacy
efforts for special populations, such as distance learning
students. The report helps library planners to answer
questions such as: what are norms for information literacy
graduation requirements? What is the perception of the overall
level of student skills in use of e-book collections? What
percentage of libraries access faculty satisfaction with the
information literacy effort? How high a priority is
information literacy for college management? What is the role
of instructional video in information
literacy?
