Abstract
Purpose
– This study aims to ascertain the trends and changes of how academic libraries market and deliver information literacy (IL) on the web.
Design/methodology/approach
– The author compares the findings from two separate studies that scanned the Web sites for IL-related activities in 2009 and 2012, respectively.
Findings
– Academic libraries intensified their efforts to promote and deliver IL on the web between 2009 and 2012. There was a significant increase in IL-related activities on the web in the three-year period.
Practical implications
– The findings describe the status quo and changes in IL-related activities on the libraries’ Web sites. This information may help librarians to know what they have been doing and if there is space for improvement.
Originality/value
– This is the only study that spans three years in measuring the progress librarians made in marketing and delivering IL on the Web.
