Communication > Websites devoted to information literacy

The NCC's Information Literacy Resources portal has been developed as a part of the NCC's E-Resource Training initiative which has began in 2004 with major funding provided by the Japan Foundation. Other components of the initiative include the T-3 (Training the Trainers) Workshops and the E-Resource Training Workshops offered nationwide.

The course was based on a Cape Technikon prototype which was subsequently workshopped with librarians and academic support specialists at the University of Cape Town, Peninsula Technikon, the University of the Western Cape, Cape Technikon and the University of Stellenbosch. These are the member institutions of the Cape Higher Education Consortium (CHEC).

Includes learning objectives, required web-based program (Go for the Gold) for general education, and initialized instruction for majors. Formal assessment -- Information-Seeking Skills Test (ISST) -- is required for all first-year students.

ILIP is made up of two components: the ILIP training modules and the compulsory online ILIP assignment. 1. The ILIP training modules The online ILIP training modules prepare you for the compulsory online assignment. The modules include information and exercises on topics such as how to use the library catalogue and how to access the various databases available for locating information. Plagiarism, a serious issue at university, is also introduced. Use the navigation bars at the top and down the left side of the page to work through each module. In addition to the online modules, face-to-face classes are provided by many University of Wollongong libraries at the beginning of each session. Check your local UOW Library for class times. 2. Compulsory online ILIP assignment Once you have either worked through the online ILIP modules or attended an ILIP library class, you need to complete the compulsory assignment.
