Description
Librarians and academics are becoming increasingly aware of the need to provide learning programs that develop students' information literacy and many examples of information literacy programs are documented. However, there is little detail about how they operate, which makes it difficult for librarians and academics to develop and implement new programs. Also, people wishing to develop programs that are integrated into the teaching curriculum need to know how successful collaborative partnerships operate, and to understand the factors that influence the effectiveness and sustainability of such collaboration. This study (1) searched for the important elements of collaborative teaching partnerships and how such partnerships can be initiated, developed, and sustained. It investigated librarians' and academics' understanding of the term information literacy and their perceptions of who is responsible for teaching the various elements. It also gathered information on the roles of the partners in planning, teaching and evaluating learning programs, and the challenges or problems they experienced.
