The role of library and information services in the modular curriculum.
Radical changes in nurse education, accompanied by advances in library and information services (LIS), set against a background of ever-expanding nursing literature and information, have favoured the development of good practices in curriculum development and student-centred learning. This paper discusses the experience at Keele University of enhanced collaborative effort between curriculum planners and LIS staff, and aims to show how LIS can facilitate student learning and contribute to curriculum planning and delivery, quality resource provision, evaluation processes and life-long learning.
