Nerz (Nerz and Weiner, 2001; Nerz and Bullard, 2006)
has many years of experience working with academic staff in teaching information literacy to undergraduates. Nerz argues that: “By linking information competencies to existing (or new) assignments related to class material, instructors and librarians have moved beyond decoupled instruction which is quickly forgotten, to ‘just in time’ needs based content” (p. 16).
Jacobson and Mark (2000) also conclude that, from their years of experience of teaching
undergraduates, the integration approach is the most effective.
