Faculty-Librarian Collaboration for Teaching Digital Information Literacy Online: Case Study of a Large General Education Course

Abstract

This case study provides insights gained from the faculty-librarian collaboration to embed information literacy in an online General Education module taught at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Following an overview of the module and faculty-librarian collaboration framework, the case study describes the librarians’ participation in co-teaching with faculty. Benefits and challenges arising from the collaborative process are assessed, followed by recommendations for future collaborative efforts in the higher education context.
