Area of Science:

  • Library and Information Science
  • Educational Technology
  • Curriculum Development

Background:

  • Librarians from institutions with formal problem-based learning (PBL) curricula began meeting in 1989.
  • The group aimed to identify commonalities in libraries supporting PBL.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To delineate library services in institutions with PBL curricula.
  • To identify mechanisms enabling libraries to directly support PBL.

Main Methods:

  • A self-study was conducted in 1991.
  • Data collection focused on library services, collection and library access, and PBL facilitation.

Main Results:

  • Key facilitators for PBL include on-demand user education, end-user literature searching, and electronic mail.

  • Both formal and informal library instruction methods were described.
  • Structured and unstructured student access to PBL resources, including bibliographies and reserve collections, was identified.
  • Librarians serve in diverse roles: service providers, resource persons, faculty, tutors, and facilitators.

    • Conclusions:

    • Libraries play a crucial role in supporting problem-based learning curricula.
    • The integration of librarians into various aspects of the PBL curriculum is essential for its success.
