【 摘 要 】

The aim of this study was to investigate whether or not the library courses in information literacy (IL) taught at Østfold University College had an impact on the students�? search behaviour. To find out, 19 students were interviewed and observed about this topic. The results showed that there were only slight differences in search behaviour between those who had attended the IL sessions and those who had not. Many students used Google as their starting point for searching for information. In this paper, we discuss how these findings can be implemented when developing future library courses on information searching.
