Importance of Information Literacy Skills

(ILS) Training for Medical Students

Motivation for information literacy skills is based on therealization that academic libraries are central and critical tothe instructional and scholarly life of the universities theyserve

They are integral parts of the teaching, learning and research

Medical Librarians are accepting the challenge of graduatingstudents with information and communication technologycompetencies

It is therefore important to design instructional modules to betaught to medical students during their academic career

ILS recognizes that all learners need training in informationand communication technology in order to fully utilize

available information resources.

Why ILS Training?

Information Communication Technologies have changed theway in which we communicate

Whilst books and journals remain important, CD-ROM, e-mailand the Internet are supplementing and even replacing some

forms of print material (INASP, 2002)

Due to these developments, the following questions arise:

What new skills and techniques are needed to search, find and

navigate this information?What kind of training is needed? What kind of training is

needed?

How can these electronic resources be evaluated? 11/10/2012Dr.T.V.Rao MD28
