<p>Information literacy is seen as a key competency in working and everyday<br />
life. For library and information science (LIS) students information literacy is<br />
a core competency and taught in many LIS university programs. One challenge<br />
herewith is to mediate these skills in the best way. This paper tries to<br />
answer the question, how students cope with different learning methods and<br />
to which extent they foster the learning of information literacy skills. Four<br />
learning methods were applied in a retrieval course. The paper introduces the<br />
course design and the applied methods. For the evaluation the participants<br />
filled out online surveys, one of them measured the expectation and perception<br />
rates based on the idea of the Servqual concept. The results show that<br />
specific learning methods can be appropriate for teaching information literacy<br />
skills. Yet, the implementation of the learning methods could be approved<br />
because students were not satisfied in all matters. Implementing<br />
learning methods in future courses should come with changes in the process<br />
of introducing these methods to the students and with more information<br />
about the purpose of applying these methods.</p>
