Empowering Nursing Students

Abstract

This poster presentation aims to unveil the impact of Credo Instruct Information Literacy Modules within a course LibGuide and its impact on undergraduate nursing students' research skills. In nursing education, the strategic integration of Credo Instruct Modules and LibGuides emerges as a guiding light, ushering undergraduate nursing students toward mastery of information and digital literacy skills in a self-paced learning environment. This poster sheds light on the impact of aligning student learning objectives with Instruct modules, creating a clear pathway for undergraduate nursing students to excel academically beyond the traditional one-shot information literacy instruction session. The Credo Instruct Modules align with ACRL standards, SCONUL 7 pillars, ANZIIL standards, and the AAC&U Information Literacy Rubric and establish foundational research competencies needed for student research skills. A course-specific LibGuide, enriched with learning modules, empowers nursing students to access specialized nursing library resources aligned with specific learning objectives from one location. This dynamic fusion ensures students acquire the expertise needed to thrive in the information-intensive healthcare landscape and empowers the librarian to evaluate student learning outcomes through the Credo Insights Analytical Tool.
