Background: Past Approach
Boyle & Dodd: LILAC 2013
Adhoc approach to Information
Literacy Instruction
Driven by individual demand
Duplication across modules
Gaps across programmes
Uneven spread across disciplines
Unsustainable

Strategy Going Forward
2010-2014 UCD Library Strategic Plan
Programme approach to Information Literacy
Identify needs, provide variety of methods
Self-directed, Online, Academic/Tutor led, Librarian Facilitated
Easier to deliver in single subject and small
programmes

…Arts & Science
Large multi-disciplinary programmes
No place where all students are together
Some engagement dependent on
individual academics
Some students get duplication while other get nothing
(Dodd, L. & Kendlin, V., 2010)
