Some subject librarians are intending to use the tutorials in an integrated way in consultation with academic staff, but these plans have not yet been implemented Yes Eg see http://www.lib.monash.edu.au/vl/bio1011/bioconf.htm, a series of modules which are linked from the first year Biology’s WebCT modules. Academic staff teach through WebCT and direct students to the modules and associated quizzes. Quiz results are given to the relevant librarian who informally evaluates student learning outcomes to determine further learning needs and addresses these in an optional follow-up face-to-face session with students. No All new students enrolled in foundation units are required to complete the LITE online module which from 2005 will be worth 5 marks, though how they will be assigned is yet to be determined.

Developed in collaboration with academics, this is probably the best working example we have at the moment, but a more ambitious project with several Faculty of Arts departments is in development.

These are generic and are being used for postgraduates and undergraduates. We use WebCT in one but the University is examining which e-learning system it will use in the future. We are working on one project with staff in our Faculty of Natural Resources and Veterinary Sciences No. Examples from predecessor in Communication, Engineering and others.

Wherever possible we collaborate with the Academic staff to integrate the information literacy into the curriculum. This is done through Library staff teaching a compulsory unit within the course (eg Learning Research Skills is a one semester course developed, presented and assessed by Law Library staff), or Library staff teaching information literacy skills for a couple of weeks of an undergraduate course, including assessment (eg Agriculture) 1. Web interface – we have skills modules on the web site that cover how to use resources in different disciplines, eg Agriculture, Science, Medicine 2. Commercial software – a couple of Faculty Liaison Librarians have built information literacy modules in WebCT which is the Uni approved learning software, to link in with a specific Unit of Study in consultation with the academic staff. 3. Locally developed software – we had a catalogue tutorial built in 2002, which includes Javascript for quiz questions. Pretty low tech. We are also investigating building individual learning objects based on standards. Some examples available. Contact Chris Van Eijk No Chris.VanEijk@uts.edu.au Yes.
