Abstract

This study aims at exploring the usefulness of an information literacy course in helping students develop skills and capabilities needed to use information effectively. In an earlier part of this study (Rehman and Al Awadhi 2012), we had found that an information literacy course made a significant difference in the skills and capabilities of students who took that course. We felt the need for additional research by conducting two focus group discussions with students and faculty members to investigate the benefits students gained and the obstacles they encountered while taking this course. In addition, this additional probe examined the perceptions of faculty members regarding course content, contribution of the course in developing students’ information literacy skills, resources and facilities supporting delivery of the course, and course evaluation.
