The Every Student Succeeds Act (2016) requires that teachers teach using evidence-based, and scientifically-researched teaching practices. With this, pre-service teachers at undergraduate institutions must learn how to find, evaluate and compare the results they find, and then determine how to implement such practices with fidelity. All Messiah College students pursuing any sort of teacher certification spend significant time in one upper level course to address finding and evaluating evidence-based practices. Instructors of that course co-teach a unit through three in-class workshops with their Education Librarian. This study examined relationships between students' perceptions and experiences with information literacy, their information literacy …

Library Staff Presentations & Publications
Connectivism is an emerging learning theory positing that knowledge comprises networked relationships and that learning comprises the ability to successfully navigate through these networks. Successful pedagogical strategies involve the instructor helping students to identify, navigate, and evaluate information from their learning networks.

Librarian educators should consider connectivism learning theory when implementing pedagogical strategies in the network domains of students.

Many traditional first-year students arrive on college and university campuses with a great deal of experience in searching the Internet. In fact, they can find prodigious amounts of information with relative ease—as evidenced by the lists of Web sites used to document many of their research papers.

Library Staff Presentations & Publications
Some students immediately feel at home in today's technology-saturated library, but many others have difficulty navigating the myriad of electronic sources in most academic libraries. It is estimated that as many as one-third of the college students in the United States suffer from technophobia and are anxious about using computers. In addition to coping with computer technology, many first-year college students are intimidated by the size and complexity of academic libraries (Mellon 1986).
