Improving Student Information Search traces the impact of a tutorial on education graduate students' problem-solving in online research databases.

The first half of the book explores the role of metacognition in problem-solving, especially for education graduate students. It also discusses the use of metacognitive scaffolds for improving students' problem-solving. The second half of the book presents the mixed method study, including the development of the tutorial, its impact on seven graduate students' search behaviour and outcomes, and suggestions for adapting the tutorial for other users. provides metacognitive strategies to improve students' information search outcomes incorporates tips to enhance database search skills in digital libraries includes seminal studies on information behaviour
