On behalf of a research team comprised of Dr. Lisa Given (SLIS), Dr. Heidi Julien (SLIS), Dr. Susan Barker (Secondary Education), Kathleen DeLong (U of A Libraries), and Anne Carr-Wiggin (U of A Libraries), Heidi Julien and Kathleen DeLong presented a paper at the recent conference of the Association for Library and Information Science Education in San Diego. The paper reported on a project funded by the Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund at the University of Alberta, and was titled "Evidence-based design of information literacy instruction: Innovation in Pedagogy for the Library and for the MLIS." The research project is examining the information literacy experiences of undergraduates as they transition from high school to the post-secondary environment; study results will be used not only to improve design of information literacy instruction in the university library, but also will be used to inform revision of an elective MLIS course in IL instruction.
