RESEARCH QUESTIONS:
• Are first-year students more information
literate than undergraduate transfer
and/or graduate students new to UNO?
• What information literacy skills do the
undergraduate transfer and new
graduate students bring to UNO?

ANECDOTAL DATA:
What did you find most useful in the library instruction?
“Yes, it was boring, but I know that it will help with my research for my papers at a later time.”
“I found that the introduction to all the possible databases the most helpful.”
“I like how they taught us how to use the search engines more effectively. I never knew how to use them correctly. It helped a lot on the research part of my paper!”
List suggestions to improve library instruction.
“Add a little more spice to the presentation. Keep us entertained and excited.”
“Use of 3D and/or explosions.”
“Maybe half way through the major paper, using a class period to make sure everyone is using the search engines right.”

FINDINGS COMPARABLE TO OTHER STUDIES:
Students 18-22 are more likely to start their research by asking family/friends or Google.
Undergraduates are significantly more likely to use the library (computers, study or socialize) than graduate students.
Students in age groups 18 – 22 and 23 – 30 are significantly less likely to start their research by asking a librarian.

Library Instruction Impact
UG Transfer and New Graduate Students
Start Research Using:
Library catalog and databases
Ask an Instructor
Ask a librarian
Feel comfortable doing the following:

expand lower level instruction to include other disciplines (history, business, political science, etc. )
– Emphasize journal and book citations
How to interpret
How to write
– Implement more engaging and innovative techniques in teaching
Social media
Mobile technologies
