Students agree that ILI leads to a reduction in effort to find information; thus, convenience is increased, information is easier to find, and time is saved, especially when deciding which databases to use and how to use interfaces to those databases. Students also report better grades following training, in large part due to assignments mandating the use of library information resources. Not surprisingly, students claim that they are more knowledgeable about what information is available through library-provided databases, and are also more aware that library-provided resources are relevant, authoritative, and high quality.”
