A few recent articles

All in priced journals, I'm afraid.
- Loo, A. and Chung, C.W. (2006) "A model for information literacy course development: a liberal arts perspective." Library review, 55 (4), 249-258. (Describes the design and content of a year 1 information literacy course developed at Lingnan UniversityHong Kong (total no. of students 2,200).
- Wang, M-Y. (2006) "The impact of information culture on managing knowledge: a double case study of pharmaceutical manufacturers in Taiwan." Library review, 55 (3), 209-221. (Includes consideration of the staff's information literacy).

Reference services review, 34 (1), 2006: has, as usual with this journal, numerous articles about information literacy, including:
- Matoush, T.L. "New forms of information literacy" pp156- 163. (Describes information literacy programs at San Jose State University King Library.)
- Choinski, E. and Emanuel, M. "The one-minute paper and the one-hour class: Outcomes assessment for one-shot library instruction" pp148- 155. (Describes the use of a one-minute paper to evaluate short sessions aimed at students of Spanish and Biology.)
- Walker, B.E. "Using humor in library instruction" pp117- 128. (Personally I think that you have to be v. cautious in your use of humour with students, unless you know them, or they might just think you are pathetic. Walker outlines some issues).
- Sharkey, J. "Towards information fluency: applying a different model to an information literacy credit course." pp71- 85. (Discusses "the application of the information fluency model, created by the Associated Colleges of the South, to the Purdue University Libraries one-credit information literacy course.")
