Essays gathered here represent the perspectives of both English professors and librarians on the significance of information literacy in the teaching of literary research methods at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The essays grew out of a panel discussion program sponsored by the Literatures in English Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries at the 2002 American Library Association conference. Early chapters address questions of how information literacy might advance the goals of the undergraduate literature curriculum. One chapter describes a course for second-year undergraduate English majors. The next section explores the question of research within specific literary methodologies or genres, and describes approaches to teaching non-majors and non-native English speakers. The third section considers training issues for librarians teaching literary research. A review of the literature of literary research instruction from 1978 to 2008 is provided. An appendix offers research competency guidelines for literatures in English. Johnson is affiliated with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Harris is affiliated with the University of New Mexico.
