The impact of digital technology on information literacy skills in library science education.

Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The advancement of digital technology has revolutionized the landscape of education, including library science education. This study aims to investigate the impact of digital technology on information literacy skills within the context of library science education. The research explores how digital tools and resources influence the development of information literacy skills among students pursuing library science education. The study will focus on identifying the benefits and challenges associated with integrating digital technology into the curriculum, as well as the implications for teaching and learning strategies in this field. The research methodology involves a comprehensive literature review to examine existing studies on digital technology, information literacy, and library science education. The study will utilize both quantitative and qualitative research methods to gather data, including surveys, interviews, and observations. Data analysis will involve thematic analysis to identify key patterns and themes related to the impact of digital technology on information literacy skills in library science education. The findings of this study are expected to provide valuable insights into the current state of information literacy skills development in library science education and the role of digital technology in enhancing these skills. The research outcomes will contribute to the existing body of knowledge in the field and offer recommendations for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders in promoting effective integration of digital technology to improve information literacy skills among library science students. Overall, this research aims to shed light on the significance of digital technology in shaping information literacy skills in the context of library science education and to provide practical recommendations for optimizing the use of digital tools and resources to enhance student learning outcomes. By understanding the impact of digital technology on information literacy skills, educators and institutions can better prepare students for the evolving demands of the information age and equip them with the necessary skills to succeed in the field of library science.
