"Same Truth, Different Reality”: Information literacy practices in Vocational and Vocational/Higher Education TAFE libraries. Christine Ruddy, NMIT & Paul Kloppenborg, William Angliss Research Problem: TAFE libraries providing IL training to different cohorts of VET and HE students

What we are talking about? Background to the study Literature review Research questions Methodology Results Conclusion Research implications

Background to the study HE and VET sectors TAFE: VET based and “Mixed” type of institute Victoria: 14 standalone TAFEs  5 “Mixed”  9 VET based  Information Literacy library practices to two types of student cohorts  VET student by VET based libraries  VET & HE students by Mixed sector libraries

Literature review themes  IL training in TAFEs (Fafeita, 2006; Harrison, 2001; Eraclides, 2014)  Collaboration with teachers (Leong, 2007; Kloppenborg & Ruddy, 2013)  Integration and embedding IL  Higher Education

Methodology Quantitative survey 12 questions to Library Managers and IL librarians Multiple choice and scaled preference Comments section Survey monkey (March 2014) 11 different TAFE libraries 4 of the 5 HE/VET 7 of the 9 VET based libraries

Research questions  IL coverage  IL development  IL focus  IL integration with curricula  IL delivery  IL frameworks and policies  Reference management software

IL frameworks and policies

IL institutional recognition and barriers

Conclusion  VET students in HE TAFE libraries are receiving some benefit from stronger IL programs in those institutes  Continuing importance of IL, for both VET and HE students  Methods for IL delivery in TAFE libraries are advancing slowly, with integration fragmented across TAFE libraries  The level of collaboration between the library and teaching staff remains crucial for successful IL programmes.

Research implications How to deliver a consistent program of IL training to vocational students that provides skills for the workplace and as a means of supporting lifelong learning? How IL for the HE and VET students can be clearly defined and delineated, and designed to cater to the specific needs of both cohorts appropriate? How to engage with VET teaching staff and students to promote IL that is fundamental to their learning and future study or work practice? What needs to be done to improve IL instruction for VET students, to retain focus on this IL (despite evidence that HE receives more attention), and what areas of IL are most relevant for VET students?
