Information literacy instruction is provided in five formats: reference, one-shot sessions, credit courses, library Web sites, and embedded librarians. Each method offers distinct merits as well as limitations. Much can be gained by considering the swirl or interplay of all five and how working with one approach informs the others and results in a better information literacy experience for students. Nevertheless, the question must be asked as to which method delivers the best opportunity for undergraduates to develop research skills and why. Recent findings of Project Information Literacy hold clues which signal embedded librarianship as the approach to pursue.
