Primary Research Group Inc. has published the Survey of Academic Library
Leadership: Pandemic’s Lasting Impact on Information Literacy Instruction,
ISBN 978-157440-675-7

The study presents data from 62 North American library deans and directors
about how the pandemic has impacted information literacy instruction and
its likely future course.   The study helps its readers to answer questions
such as: how have academic libraries adjusted their info literacy policies
during the pandemic? Which changes will they continue with post pandemic
and which will they abandon? In what areas has the library invested to
further service to online education? How did the library compensate for a
dearth of in-person info literacy instruction and embedded librarian
opportunities? How has the library assessed its altered policies and what
is the path forward?

The data summary and commentary in the report was written by Susanna Cowan,
Coordinator for Library Research & Assessment at UCONN Library.

Just a few of the 53-page report’s many findings are that:

• Community colleges were much more likely than most other types of
colleges to expand training in searching library content databases.

• High tuition colleges were the most likely to have conducted an online
library orientation for new students.

• More than 56% of libraries sampled had newly developed or significantly
further developed training or classes in integrating online information
into classes.

• Research universities were much likelier than others to have more greatly
emphasized training in how to use the library eBook collection.


Data in the report is broken out by size and type of institution, by
tuition level, for public and private institutions  and  enrolment level as
well as by some personal characteristics of survey respondents.
