Sažetak
The paper discusses the information literacy programs within the academic curriculum. Presented are the results of the research on modalities of implementation of information literacy programs, with emphasis on the analysis of the University Library at Karl-Franzens University in Graz information literacy program and its impact on student learning and achievement. This library was chosen because its information literacy program is integrated in the university curriculum. The authors used the survey method to explore the level of motivation and student satisfaction with the information literacy course Self management at the university and at work: Successful researching and orientation in the University Library. This course is the fundamental part of their information literacy program. The research results confirmed the hypothesis that this course significantly improved students’ information literacy and that the students are satisfied with the acquired competencies. The interview with the course teacher provided further insights into the University library services related to information literacy, as well as into the course content and strategies. The authors gained more information about the course through content analysis of class documentation. The information literacy program at this University library is an example of good practice because the Library recognized the requirements of the Bologna process as the opportunity to strengthen its role in education and to integrate library services into the university curriculum.
