Information literacy of matriculating chiropractic students assessed via research readiness survey.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We developed a Research Readiness Survey (RRS) to identify students' information literacy needs prior to instruction by a team of faculty members and librarians in our doctor of chiropractic program clinical research literacy courses. In addition to describing students' responses to our RRS, we explored associations between (1) students' overall performance on the RRS and their prior earned degrees and (2) their self-reported ability and performance on questions pertaining to evaluating information quality (standard 3 of the Association of College and Research Libraries [ACRL] Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education).

Methods

The RRS is composed of 50 questions, of which 22 pertain to information literacy knowledge assessment per ACRL standar
