Faculty and librarians have been developing newer and better ways of imparting information literacy, recognizing that it is an important aspect of developing crucial critical skills in their students. We discuss how student learning is enhanced as the result of ongoing collaboration. Through what we call Dynamic Purposeful Learning (DPL) and the collaborative process, students learn dynamic information literacy and online research skills.
