Embedding Guides Where Students Learn: Do Design Choices and Librarian Behavior Make a Difference?

This study investigated whether library guides embedded in a university's learning management system fulfill their mission to promote library resources and maintain a librarian presence in the online course environment. Specifically, the study examined whether design elements, promotional practices, or other behaviors influenced guide use. It questioned whether students located the library guides and, if so, did students find the guides helpful. Results confirmed that students who used library guides found the guides helpful. Select faculty and librarian behaviors may also influence student use of library guides. Promotion and marketing practices, however, are not the only factors encouraging students to use library guides.

Information literacy skills | Bristol University Library 

During your studies and in your subsequent career, you will need to develop expertise in finding, evaluating and using information effectively and ethically. That expertise is often called ‘information literacy’, or perhaps more narrowly, 'library and information skills'.

What is Information Literacy?

An information literate individual can:

- recognise and articulate a need for information
- distinguish ways in which the information need may be addressed
- construct strategies for locating information
- locate and access information
- compare and evaluate information obtained from different sources
- use information appropriately and ethically.

 "ABC"  Wisdom based Time Management Learning


As Education is the key" as it enlightens but knowledge is power as without it you cannot solve any problem or issue. All the revealed prophets (from Adam,Abraham,Jesus to Mohammad PBUH) were divinely educated, their Actions were based on Information, Behavor based on Knowledge & Conduct based on Wisdom thus they guided mankind to "The Straight Path". We need Wisdom for Peace and Welfare to make our planet sustainable and secure for future generation.
