Information Literacy Programme In Libraries

Today is the era of information explosion. The beginning of the 21st century has been called the Information Age cause of the explosion of information resources. It has become increasingly clear that students cannot learn everything they need to know about their field of study in a few years of college. Information literacy equips them with the critical skills necessary to become independent learners. Too often we assume that as students write research papers and read textbooks they are gaining sufficient Information Literacy skills. This is not so. Information
