Abstract

Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, wikis, and social networking sites have impacted the Information Literacy (IL) curriculum at The American University in Cairo, where librarians teach LALT 101, a required, semester-long IL course. During fall 2005 and spring 2006, librarians used a Web 2.0 photo sharing tool, Flickr (www.flickr.com), to teach database concepts in several experimental sections of LALT 101. Observations show that the experimental sections were more engaging and enjoyable for the students than the control sections. Pretest and Posttest data show that learning occurred in both the experimental and the control groups with no statistically significant difference between them.
