Exploring Science Information Literacy Instruction at French and Spanish Libraries

Pages 134-146 | Published online: 10 Jun 2015
 

Abstract

Visits to university libraries in France and Spain offered an initial look at science information literacy practices in Europe. The study provides an overview of the information literacy programs at these libraries, discusses some of the similarities and differences in library instruction for sciences disciplines in these countries, makes comparisons to practices in North American academic libraries, and offers possible ideas that could be implemented in our own programs.
