Web-based Information Literacy in an academic library: the example of the Library of ATEI of Thessaloniki

This paper presents the development of a web based Information Literacy service, at the Library of the Alexander Technological Educational Institute (ATEI) of Thessaloniki. The purpose of the newly developed service was to amalgamate the already existing IL services, with new features and sections, providing a more constructivist approach to teaching and learning. For the development of the new service, first a questionnaire survey was conduced among the students of the ATEI in order to evaluate the existing service, complemented by a literature and case studies review; these assisted the working team to acquire a more holistic view of the current services provided, the trends and equivalent services provided by other libraries worldwide.
