Project Abstract

Abstract
This research project aims to investigate and enhance information literacy skills among Library Science students through the implementation of interactive online modules. With the rapid advancements in technology and the increasing reliance on digital resources, the need for individuals to possess strong information literacy skills has become more critical than ever. Library Science students, in particular, play a vital role in managing and providing access to information in various settings, making it essential for them to develop proficient information literacy competencies. The study will begin with an exploration of the current state of information literacy among Library Science students, highlighting any existing gaps or challenges in their skill development. Through a comprehensive literature review, key concepts related to information literacy, online learning, and interactive module design will be examined to provide a theoretical framework for the study. The research methodology will involve the design and implementation of interactive online modules specifically tailored to enhance information literacy skills among Library Science students. The effectiveness of these modules will be evaluated through a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods, including pre- and post-module assessments, surveys, and focus group discussions. The findings of the study will be presented in Chapter Four, where a detailed analysis of the data collected will be provided. This chapter will explore the impact of the interactive online modules on the information literacy skills of Library Science students and identify any factors that may have influenced their learning outcomes. In conclusion, the research project will offer valuable insights into the potential of interactive online modules to enhance information literacy skills among Library Science students. By addressing the limitations of traditional teaching methods and leveraging the benefits of technology-enhanced learning, this study aims to contribute to the ongoing efforts to equip future information professionals with the necessary skills to navigate the evolving information landscape effectively. Overall, this research project seeks to bridge the gap between theory and practice in information literacy education by providing a practical and innovative approach to skill development for Library Science students. Through the implementation of interactive online modules, this study aims to empower students with the knowledge and competencies needed to excel in their roles as information professionals.
