Information Literacy Services for Faculty

Use this page to find out more about our Information Literacy Programme and how we can help your students achieve the pedagogical goals you have set for them in your courses. An information literate student is a creative and independent thinker. Such a student has moved beyond passively absorbing whatever material happens to be available, to critically evaluating one perspective against many others in an effort to construct new knowledge in the form of credible and defensible arguments.
