Abstract
This qualitative study examines students’ source selection practices before and after targeted instruction in critical information literacy (CIL), where the assigned course instructor presents the material in close collaboration with an academic librarian. The primary goal is to identify the impact of collaborative teaching strategies that emphasize the authority and expertise of the academic librarian. Study participants are upper-level baccalaureate students in an advanced writing course required for graduation, and this study explores the potential applicability of the findings to other similar high-impact general education courses. This is a two-phase study, the first of which is completed and the second is currently underway. This report highlights the preliminary findings from Phase I.
