Abstract

Carol Kuhlthau’s research on the information search process with students has had a big influence on librarians at the Arizona State University West Library. Her model of how students actually do research has been a revelation to some; it has verified for others what they “knew” but had not fully grasped. Her model has been fully integrated into a one‐hour credit course that supports a new writing certificate program and is being used experimentally in the library’s reference services. In this article, Isbell and Kammerlocher summarize Kuhlthau’s research and the information search process, present background on the one‐credit class, and describe how they are using the ISP model in the class and as a training tool for reference services. They conclude with plans for evaluation of their efforts and student outcomes assessment and future plans for working with the ISP model.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this article is to describe the rapidly changing learning landscapes academic libraries are facing using a case study of Arizona State University. Flexible, adaptable and low‐cost solutions are available for libraries who find themselves in a diverse learning landscape coupled with economic challenges.

Design/methodology/approach

This case study provides details of the processes for implementing low‐cost alternatives to creating, managing and disseminating learning objects.

Findings

Low‐cost solutions can give libraries an important information literacy presence within the university learning landscape. Locally managed learning object repositories can be implemented with minimal fuss and facilitate faculty and student in a wide range of academic programs access to library learning content.

Practical implications

How to manage learning content in a local learning objects repository to maximize access, use and reuse for faculty, students and librarians. This article describes an option for implementing a learning object repository with few fiscal and personnel resources.

Originality/value

Online information literacy on a budget is within reach for many academic libraries by tapping into the potential of free or low‐cost web resources for creating and managing learning content.
