Abstract

This study examined the influence of information literacy and librarian interactions on students' academic success in higher education. Using a descriptive-correlational design, data were collected from 1,309 fourth year undergraduate students at Mindanao State University-Main Campus, Marawi City. The study assessed students' information literacy-specifically search skills and source evaluation-and the extent of their interactions with librarians regarding frequency, type of assistance, and perceived helpfulness. Results revealed that students demonstrated a high level of information literacy and moderate engagement with librarians. Both variables showed significant positive relationships with academic success, with source evaluation and perceived helpfulness emerging as the strongest predictors. The findings underscore the library's instructional and mentoring role in improving academic performance. Strengthening information literacy programs and fostering proactive librarian-student collaboration are recommended.
