Conceptual Research

The productivity of scientific papers in disseminating research results, mastering basic tasks and competencies in functional positions does not necessarily make the researcher a literate person. Researchers at the Loka Litbangkes, Pangandaran still indicated the existence of issues related to the mastery of information literacy especially in writing scientific papers. The information literacy capabilities of researchers are not yet known comprehensively and deeply, so research is needed to uncover it. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach. The purpose of the study was to obtain a clear picture of the information literacy abilities of researchers, especially in scientific writing. The conceptual research framework to study the information literacy skills of researchers used the SCONUL Seven Pillars Information Literacy Research Lens. Informants were three researchers and colleagues at the Loka Litbangkes, Pangandaran who were determined based on purposive sampling. Results showed that researchers did not master information literacy skills yet. First-level researchers indicated that they did not fully master the Plan, Gather and Evaluate competencies. Middle-level researchers were indicated that they did not master the competencies of Plan, Gather, Evaluate and Present. Whereas the high-level researchers were indicated that they did not fully master the Plan, Gather, Evaluate, Manage and Present competencies. In conclusion, the researcher's information literacy skills are constrained by the lack of participation in information literacy training, limitations and irregularities in library collections, unavailability of access to Scopus indexed international journal databases, lack of science communication networks motivations and limited English proficiency.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to assess information literacy skills of undergraduates in Nigerian universities. Design/methodology/approach A self-assessed questionnaire was developed to collect data from the final year undergraduates in 15 universities. A total of 1,350 final year Library and Information Science (LIS) students responded to the questionnaire which was used for analysis. Findings The study revealed that the majority of the LIS final year undergraduates mostly consult journal articles, followed by internet information and online databases during their research process. The undergraduates rated well-known author(s), current information, credible information, accurate and relevant information as very important when evaluating online information resources. It was found that the students rated their ability to organize information and integrate ideas from consulted information as high. While they were deficient in ability to correctly paraphrase ideas to avoid plagiarism and use citation and referencing styles correctly. On the whole, almost half of the final year undergraduates of LIS rated their level of information literacy skills to be moderate. Practical implications The findings of the study will inform librarians and faculty in universities in developing countries like Nigeria to develop an information literacy instruction policy. Originality/value Assessing information literacy skills will provide the foundation and knowledge to improve the development of information literacy training programmes.

It is often difficult to address higher level information literacy skills in Higher Education.

Abstract Background One of the most important prerequisites for nurses’ readiness to implement Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is to improve their information literacy skills. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a training program on nurses’ information literacy skills for EBP in critical care units. Methods In this interventional study, 60 nurses working in critical care units of hospitals affiliated to Kerman University of Medical Sciences were randomly assigned into the intervention or control groups. The intervention group was provided with information literacy training in three eight-hour sessions over 3 weeks. Data were collected using demographic and information literacy skills for EBP questionnaires before and 1 month after the intervention. Results At baseline, the intervention and control groups were similar in terms of demographic characteristics and information literacy skills for EBP. The training program significantly improved all dimensions of information literacy skills of the nurses in the intervention group, including the use of different information resources (3.43 ± 0.48, p < 0.001), information searching skills and the use of different search features (3.85 ± 0.67, p < 0.001), knowledge about search operators (3.74 ± 0.14, p < 0.001), and selection of more appropriate search statement (x2 = 50.63, p = 0.001) compared with the control group. Conclusions Nurses can learn EBP skills and apply research findings in their nursing practice in order to provide high-quality, safe nursing care in clinical settings. Practical workshops and regular training courses are effective interventional strategies to equip nurses with information literacy skills so that they can apply these skills to their future nursing practice.
