(2002). <em>Of course it is true, I read it on the Internet</em>.

Thus, the widespread availability of the Internet may intensify the well-established need for instruction in information literacy. At the same time, the familiarity and ease of use of the Internet for today's students may make such instruction seem irrelevant to students. This paper describes a series of short research exercises that address this issue and provide a vehicle for instruction. The approach integrates instruction in information literacy into an existing course and emphasizes active learning and just-in-time tutoring.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101076,"journal":{"name":"Research Strategies","volume":"19 2","pages":"Pages 135-147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.resstr.2004.03.003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74321492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
