The research partnership between the College of Information at Florida State University, Chipola College, and Tallahassee Community College, will investigate student perceptions of information literacy education and identify ways to ensure that all students develop essential 21st century learning skills as an integral part of their educational experience. Research findings will provide important input for the design, development, and implementation of information services and resources, especially those aimed at reaching students who do not have proficient information literacy skills. The information literacy services and resources developed in this project can be tailored to the needs of other specific education environments. This project promises to serve as a basis for improving student learning in both traditional and distance learning environments, and will inform understanding of the development of information literacy skills in other populations, such as children and senior adults.
