Project Abstract

Abstract
The integration of Virtual Reality (VR) technology in educational settings has garnered significant attention in recent years. This research project aims to investigate the impact of VR technology on information literacy skills within the context of Library Science Education. The study explores how the immersive and interactive nature of VR can enhance information literacy instruction and learning outcomes in library science programs. The research methodology involves a mixed-methods approach, including a literature review, surveys, interviews, and observations. Chapter one provides an introduction to the research topic, background information, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the research, and definition of key terms. Chapter two presents a comprehensive literature review covering ten key areas related to VR technology, information literacy, and library science education. Chapter three outlines the research methodology, including research design, sampling methods, data collection techniques, data analysis procedures, ethical considerations, and limitations of the study. The chapter also discusses the theoretical framework guiding the research and justifies the chosen methodology. Chapter four presents the findings of the study, highlighting the impact of VR technology on information literacy skills in library science education. The discussion covers seven key themes emerging from the data analysis, providing insights into the benefits and challenges of integrating VR technology in information literacy instruction. In conclusion, the research project summarizes the key findings, implications for practice, recommendations for future research, and the overall contribution to the field of Library Science Education. The study contributes to the growing body of literature on the use of VR technology in education and provides valuable insights for educators, librarians, and researchers interested in enhancing information literacy skills through innovative technologies.
