ABSTRACTThis is the second part of a series on Web 2.0 tools available from community college libraries' Websites. The first article appeared in an earlier volume of this journal and it illustrated the wide variety of Web 2.0 tools on community college libraries' Websites serving large student bodies (Blummer and Kenton 2014). The research found many of these tools, especially LibGuides and YouTube videos, contained instructional content.

Nursing educators know that healthcare stakeholders expect nursing graduates to be able to manage information. Consequently, many nursing education programs are exploring ways of integrating information literacy across the curriculum not only to bolster evidence-based practice, but also to enhance professional development and encourage lifelong learning. By adding collaborative efforts between librarians and nursing educators, nursing students will be better prepared to meet workforce expectations, complete high stakes writing assignments, and will become active decision makers. This study describes a collaborative effort between nursing and library faculty in the quest to integrate information literacy in an Associate Degree nursing program.
