Summary: This article presents the results of a research study designed to assess the effectiveness of information literacy instruction in basic communication courses, such as introduction to public speaking. The experimental group received library instruction, completed research logs, and participated in lessons on tests of evidence and logical fallacies. In general, the experimental group performed better than the comparison group on literacy outcomes such as identifying keywords, locating data and contact information and citing sources.

Newer sources are probably available. Relevance (score: 3): The information directly relates to my research; I would feel comfortable using this source in my project. Authority (score: 2): The article was written by a graduate student who is also the Basic Course Director at Ohio University. No information is provided for five his co-authors. Accuracy (score: 3): The information was published in a peer reviewed (refereed) publication. Data are presented clearly. The authors cite and reference numerous peer-reviewed sources. Purpose (score: 3): The purpose of this article is to inform the audience about a research project. The authors provide recommendations for future research; however, the content does not appear biased or one-sided.
