Very selective highlights from the latest library journals .
College & Research Libraries vol.68 No.2 March 2007
Academic subject guides : a case study of use at San Jose State University.
Might be worth a read as we consider the future of our own subject guides. It also made me want to find out more about the research it mentions by Kuhlthau who has apparently identified a gap between the way in which subject guides are traditionally presented and the way in which students work.
Serials. Vol.20 No.1 March 2007
Death of the VLE?: a challenge to a new orthodoxy.
Looks at the history of the VLE, the current state of the market and the effect of several new variables on its future. One of these variables is Web 2.0 with its focus on the web as platform and social, collaborative and frequently informal learning.
The Journal of Academic Librarianship. Vol.33 No.2. March 2007
The impact of problem-based learning on the information behavior and literacy of vetinary medicine students at University College Dublin.
This study found that problem based learning "resulted in students visiting the library earlier, better understanding how to use resources, becoming more discerning regarding information and learning how to integrate information effectively."
