| Abstract: | This paper defines Information Literacy (IL) and gives a brief background to the current IL
programme at Makerere University. The main methods of data collection used were informal
interviews with the IL instructors at Makerere University since very few publications about IL
at Makerere University could be obtained. Emphasis was therefore placed on the description of
the different situations experienced by the IL instructors, the Author’s experience gained in
Library User Education and the general assessment of the programme. The IL programme aims
at empowering users who have recognized a need, to locate scholarly sources of information,
evaluate and effectively use suitable information gathered to accomplish the task at hand,
improve on the quality of users’ learning experience, and create an information literate
community with efficient and portable skills for lifelong learning. This paper therefore gives an
overview of the IL programme at Makerere University, discusses how it is conducted, addresses
the importance of periodic evaluation of the IL programme and proposes a way forward towards
improving the IL programme at Makerere University. |
