Importance of Information Literacy Skills (ILS) Training for

Medical StudentsMotivation for information literacy skills is based on the realization that academic libraries are central and critical to the instructional and scholarly life of the universities they serve

They are integral parts of the teaching, learning and research

Medical Librarians are accepting the challenge of graduating students with information and communication technology competencies

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

ILS recognizes that all learners need training in information and communication technology in order to fully utilize available information resources.

04/07/2023Dr.T.V.Rao MD28

Why ILS Training? Information Communication Technologies have

changed the way in which we communicateWhilst books and journals remain important, CD-

ROM, e-mail and 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?

04/07/2023Dr.T.V.Rao MD29

Ability of Information Literacy

Understand in a basic sense how resource information is produced, disseminated, organized, including differences among primary, secondary and tertiary literature and the distinction between popular and peer-reviewed literature

Information literacy is increasingly important in contemporary environment of rapid technological change

It is common to all disciplines, to all learning environments, and to all levels of education

It enables learners to master content and extend their investigations, become more self-directed, and assume greater control over their own learning.
