Active learning: a consideration in collection development in health sciences libraries?

Purpose: Active learning is an important component of medical education and information literacy instruction. This study is a preliminary investigation to determine whether health sciences librarians consider active learning when making decisions about the library collection.

Methodology: An online survey was conducted among health sciences librarians.

Findings: Nineteen librarians completed the survey and most are not considering active learning when making collection decisions.

Originality: Very little literature has been published about active learning as a consideration in collection development decisions by health sciences librarians.
