Abstract

Date Presented 4/21/2018

This study examined the impact of an embedded librarian on occupational therapy students’ information literacy skills and grade point average (GPA). Results showed a moderate positive correlation between Standard 1 (articulating information needed or identifying resources to locate this) and GPA and a 2.5% increase in information literacy skills.
