Abstract

An online survey in Florida and New York of community college librarians with responsibility for information literacy instruction provides a snapshot of instructional objectives and practices, including librarians' beliefs about students' information literacy needs, strengths, and weaknesses. Survey results point to the influence of the Association of College and Research Libraries Framework in the community college context, the challenges librarians face as they work to implement it, and their successes in doing so. These data reveal opportunities to support and improve instruction and to prepare future librarians to work successfully in community college contexts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A study of information literacy instruction (ILI) practices in community college libraries in the United States has included a survey of instructional librarians and interviews with students. The goals of the study were to examine how librarians' ILI is being impacted by the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy in the community college context; to understand librarians' perceptions of their students' information literacy (IL) abilities; and, to explore students' experiences of ILI and their perceptions of their IL abilities. The study revealed challenges facing community college librarians, as well as gaps between the librarians' and students' perceptions, pinpointing opportunities for instructional improvements.
