dc.description.abstractThis booklet is aimed at all staff engaged in course design and delivery. Its purpose is to show what information literacy (IL) is, how it can be successfully built into courses and programmes of study, and how library staff can engage in collaborative partnerships to achieve this. It offers:» Practical guidance to support the integration of information literacy» Case studies of good practice within the CONUL Libraries» Helpful tips for teaching staff, programme committees and module teams. Information literacy is a key component in the development of the student as an independent learner. It also contributes to the ability of students to work confidently with information and IT tools, and to develop essential critical thinking skills. All these are essential attributes for the modern graduate and the modern employee. The new graduate must not only have specialist knowledge in their field, but also have a range of generic competencies required to participate in a workplace subject to constant change, the skills to continue learning throughout a professional lifetime. (IUA, 2005). Integrating information literacy is about creating a curriculum which enables students to develop the skills to learn independently and to carry on learning, throughout their employment and life.
