Abstract

Information literacy skills are crucial for academic and everyday success. Using various pedagogical techniques, librarians reach out to their users and equip them with the skills necessary to utilize the available information effectively. The study aimed to determine the members’ perceptions of their information-seeking behaviour and how much the book club had contributed to improving their information-seeking abilities. The study population consisted of 49 book club members, from whom a survey and focus group interview gathered data. The study reveals that the book club improves information-seeking training initiatives, practices and librarian engagement. This study can be used to advocate for and enhance library book clubs as platforms for enhancing instruction of information-seeking processes. It can also motivate further research into this phenomenon.
自由州大学内维尔亚历山大图书馆读书俱乐部和信息寻求行为
信息素养对于学术和日常成功至关重要。图书馆员利用各种教学技术接触用户,使他们掌握有效利用现有信息所需的技能。这项研究旨在确定会员对其信息寻求行为的看法,以及读书俱乐部对提高他们的信息寻求能力做出了多大贡献。研究人群由49名读书俱乐部成员组成,通过调查和焦点小组访谈收集数据。研究表明,读书俱乐部提高了信息寻求培训的主动性、实践性和图书馆员的参与度。本研究可用于倡导和加强图书馆图书俱乐部作为加强信息寻求过程指导的平台。它还可以激励对这一现象的进一步研究。
