Research Plus™ - Information Literacy "On the Go"

The app's purpose was to guide students through the major research steps "on the go" as well as support the students' information literacy needs in a mobile learning environment.

Features included choosing a research topic, accessing digital library resources, generating citations, and evaluating resources. Students had the ability to save the results of the session in a report and emailing a copy of the report to the library for further assistance. The app was tested internally by librarians and by representative samples of the student populations.
