What Faculty Think--Exploring the Barriers to Information Literacy Development in Undergraduate Education
McGuinness, Claire
Journal of Academic Librarianship, v32 n6 p573-582 Nov 2006
This paper reports findings from a recent Irish-based study into faculty-librarian collaboration for information literacy (IL) development. Qualitative analysis of comments made by Sociology and Civil Engineering academics shows how entrenched beliefs and perceptions may adversely affect the potential for collaboration, and prevent the inclusion of information literacy in undergraduate curricula.
