The Association of College and Research Libraries's Information Literacy Competency Standards for Science and Engineering/Technology address this issue in Standard Five. Library instructors who teach information literacy courses that focus on the natural sciences can use this standard to develop performance indicators and outcomes for their courses. Article reports on survey results and examines students' attitudes toward science literacy and lifelong learning as addressed in Standard 5.

Understanding of mathematics is needed to underpin the process of search, either explicitly with Exact Match (Boolean logic, adjacency) or implicitly with Best match natural language search. In this paper we outline some pedagogical challenges in teaching mathematics for information retrieval (IR) to postgraduate information science students. The aim is to take these challenges either found by experience or in the literature, to identify both theoretical and practical ideas in order to improve the delivery of the material and positively affect the learning of the target audience by using a tutorial style of teaching. Results show that there is evidence to support the notion that a more pro-active style of teaching using tutorials yield benefits both in terms of assessment results and student satisfaction.

The purpose of this literature review is to identify preferred instructional practices and generally accepted conceptual models for business information literacy as reported by evidence-based studies. This study examined articles from 1980 to 2009 that met criteria for evidence-based research studies of business information literacy in academic libraries.

Two groups of students, enrolled in Introduction to Accounting, volunteered to participate in a pedagogical study to assess course-integrated information literacy instruction. The results suggest that information literacy skills can be learned for application in subsequent coursework. This research also provides some evidence of significantly greater improvement in information literacy and significantly higher perceptions of course-integrated instruction benefits.
