New articles in health science and information literacy

Buysse, H., Peleman, R. and De Meulemeester, A. (2018). Information literacy in health sciences education: proposal of a new model in a multi-perspectivism setting. JEAHIL (Journal of the European Association for Health Information and Libraries), 14(1), 15-20. "Information literacy should be integrated and practiced within a complete curriculum by using horizontal (basic IL skills) and vertical integration (IL integrated within the discipline) that would guarantee equal opportunities for students’ IL development and which could be a more cost-effective solution within curriculum development. The emerging technologies and the impact on educational models will more and more demand different expertise and thus collaboration of experts with different backgrounds".

Goodman, X. et al. (2018). Applying an information literacy rubric to first-year health sciences student research posters. Journal of the Medical Library association, 106(1), 108-112. "This article describes the collection and analysis of annotated bibliographies created by first-year health sciences students to support their final poster projects. The authors examined the students’ abilities to select relevant and authoritative sources, summarize the content of those sources, and correctly cite those sources". https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5764575/
