Article:
Lacey, P. (2022). Google is goodish: An information literacy course designed to teach users why Google may not always be the best place to search for evidence. Health Information & Libraries Journal, 39, 91–95. https://doi.org/10.1111/hir.12401
Discussion Questions
- How do you deal with Google/Google Scholar in your library training?
- Discuss the good side to Google. Does being able to search Google transfer to being able to search library databases?
- Does Google Scholar and its Library Links feature lead students/researchers/healthcare staff to researching with library resources?
- Discuss the importance and value of accepting what students are using and working with that resource to guide students to library resources.
- The article highlights the need for a library training course to be “informative, but light-hearted” (p. 92). Do you have any suggestions on how to do this? What has worked for you?
