Student side• Library activity – not so good• Not familiar with existance of
COBBIS• Not familiar with other
databases• Quick solution: google search

Student side• Negative student habits with
information gathering:– “Copy-paste” method– Unorganized collected information– Lack of effort at information search
![Page 19: University of Mostar Bosnia and Herzegovina Information literacy activities - progress report – University of Mostar RINGIDEA, Brasov, 29.02.2012.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649cf55503460f949c356b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Academic staff• Searching and using electronic
databases (domestic and international)
• Using other libraries (e.g. Croatian)
• Individual efforts, not institutionally supported (financial reasons)
![Page 20: University of Mostar Bosnia and Herzegovina Information literacy activities - progress report – University of Mostar RINGIDEA, Brasov, 29.02.2012.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649cf55503460f949c356b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

The concept of IL• Mostly unmentioned• Unknown by general public• No special programs or
initiatives for IL per se
![Page 22: University of Mostar Bosnia and Herzegovina Information literacy activities - progress report – University of Mostar RINGIDEA, Brasov, 29.02.2012.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649cf55503460f949c356b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
IL in disguise• Within courses at some faculties
– methodology of scientific work– introduction to seminar paper etc.
![Page 23: University of Mostar Bosnia and Herzegovina Information literacy activities - progress report – University of Mostar RINGIDEA, Brasov, 29.02.2012.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649cf55503460f949c356b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

sciences” at Philosophy Faculty• Started in academic 2011/12

Perceived needs• Public identification of IL concept• Better introduction of IL to
students (and academic and administrative staff)
• Practical work with students to enhance their IL
![Page 25: University of Mostar Bosnia and Herzegovina Information literacy activities - progress report – University of Mostar RINGIDEA, Brasov, 29.02.2012.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649cf55503460f949c356b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

actions
![Page 26: University of Mostar Bosnia and Herzegovina Information literacy activities - progress report – University of Mostar RINGIDEA, Brasov, 29.02.2012.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649cf55503460f949c356b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Work meetings• First meeting• The purpose to discuss further
actions and overall working plan of two working groups. It was concluded that both groups will make an operational plan on how they intend to fullfill their obligations that were discussed at the meeting in Limerick.
![Page 27: University of Mostar Bosnia and Herzegovina Information literacy activities - progress report – University of Mostar RINGIDEA, Brasov, 29.02.2012.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649cf55503460f949c356b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

• No workshop held – technical difficulties:– Heavy snow, state of natural
distaster• Individuals meetings held with
teaching staff and students
IL workshop/meeting

IL meetings
• Coordinator: Jelena Brkic• 20.-24.2.2012• Questionnaire about IL modules• Gathering opinions and
preferences
![Page 30: University of Mostar Bosnia and Herzegovina Information literacy activities - progress report – University of Mostar RINGIDEA, Brasov, 29.02.2012.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649cf55503460f949c356b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
IL meetings - participants• Ivana Zovko, international relations office at University of
Mostar• Javorka Anđelić Raič, librarian at University library• Jelena Brkić, technical coordinator for international
cooperation, Faculty of Economics• Sanja Bijakšić, professor at Faculty of Economics• Alena Jurić, assistant professor, Faculty of Law• Mirela Mabić, assistant to the professor, Faculty of

![Page 31: University of Mostar Bosnia and Herzegovina Information literacy activities - progress report – University of Mostar RINGIDEA, Brasov, 29.02.2012.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649cf55503460f949c356b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Conclusions• Modern modules with more animations and
interactivity are more acceptable• Majority approved the Cranfield
University module with only one remark: lack of visible table of content (just like in the model of Trinity College Dublin)
• Technical obsticle for the Cranfield University module: little bit slower in response (at least on computers at the University)
![Page 32: University of Mostar Bosnia and Herzegovina Information literacy activities - progress report – University of Mostar RINGIDEA, Brasov, 29.02.2012.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649cf55503460f949c356b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Conclusions• Students: divided between Cranfield University
model and Trinity College Dublin model (because of its simlicity and visibility)
• Students not too keen on watching a video tutorial if it only containts person talking about the subject; they would only take time to watch an educational video if it was demonstrating a solution to some problem etc.
• Main headings of the tutorial: as simple as possible, not containing any unclear terms (Epigeum Research Skills)
• No specific demands regarding main headings were made; the existance of the generic IL module seems fine by everyone
![Page 33: University of Mostar Bosnia and Herzegovina Information literacy activities - progress report – University of Mostar RINGIDEA, Brasov, 29.02.2012.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649cf55503460f949c356b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Implementing IL modules
• Using existing courses• No possibility of introducing new
separate IL course (for now):– Difficult procedure for changing
official syllabus– Lack of adequate teaching staff
![Page 34: University of Mostar Bosnia and Herzegovina Information literacy activities - progress report – University of Mostar RINGIDEA, Brasov, 29.02.2012.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649cf55503460f949c356b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Implementing IL modules
• Phase 1:– To be included as part of official
literature• Phase 2:
– To give noticeable teaching hours to the IL module
• Phase 3:– Evaluating students using IL
modules
![Page 37: University of Mostar Bosnia and Herzegovina Information literacy activities - progress report – University of Mostar RINGIDEA, Brasov, 29.02.2012.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103022/56649cf55503460f949c356b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Implementing IL modules
• Best ground in the future:– Study of Information science at
Faculty of Philosophy– Faculties with no course in IL,
methodology of scientific work etc.
