Subsequently, information literacy competencies are further imparted to under graduates and postgraduates by various academic libraries.

Efforts are being made by various entities to create an information literate society in line with the government’s aim of attaining Vision 2020 – the creation of a civil society whereby all citizens will be information lit erate and well-equipped as knowledge workers. |
