improved and constant library user education programme geared towards empowering students to be familiar with

Information Literacy forms the basis for the lifelong learning process and Libraries play an important role
in providing the skills. Today information has become a major economic product for effective functioning of the
democratic world. In this world of information age it has limitless scope of available information which makes the
students critical users of information.
Libraries tend to play a vital role in encouraging teaching and research in terms of resourcing, reading
material, facilitating use of these materials and providing joint focus for joint venture with other institutions.
They play an important role in promoting information literacy of the students and faculty members.
The focus of this paper lies on the role of academic libraries in promoting information literacy skills to
the students in particular.

WHAT IS INFORMATION LITERACY

According to Moore, Information Literacy means: The Association of College and Research Libraries
defines Information Literacy as a set of abilities requiring individuals to recognize when information is needed
and have the ability to locate, evaluate and use effectively the needed information (Association of College and
Research Libraries Best practices and assessment of Information Literacy programs). Earlier, the amount of
Information and their sources were limited but today Information is available in plenty in many formats through

various sources from all over the world without any geographical restrictions. Information users have right to use terrific
Information but it is complicated for them to know the right source of Information as they are perplexed with massive
amount of Information i.e., same kind of Information is available through many sources. Hence, it is very difficult for them
to retrieve the required and accurate information. It has been recently felt by many information professionals that lack of
Information Literacy Skills sets a barrier to access authentic information at the right time especially in the field of
Engineering. For all these problems Information Literacy is the only solution which can enable the Professionals perform
their routine job activities.

NEED OF INFORMATION LITERACY

The primary objective of IL is to develop vital users of Mass Information. IL is considered as influential for
constant learning. It is familiar to all disciplines at all levels of education, to all learning and working environment. It more
over enables the Information seekers more self sufficient and assumes massive control over their learning. The vision of
the todays Educational Institutions should be to develop Life-long skills and provide constant growth in the future career
of the students.
Every Educational Institution should promote best possible use of its Knowledge Base through well planned
strategies to help students develop IL skills and it is also important to have an on-going program of Library Orientation.
This actually should work out by the Faculty, Librarians, Academicians and other Information providers collaboratively.
Information Literacy also aims to teach students how to seek information and train then for life-long learning.
IL has a huge impact on economic growth; educational enlightenment and socio-cultural and personal welfare.
It also emphasizes the skills, attitudes and values required to locate and manage information in an effective manner.
It promotes education at all levels, the development skills in the office and society including provincial, financial,
e-commerce and e-government.

GLOBAL INFORMATION LITERACY LITERATURE

Neena Singh (in collaboration with Andreas Klingenberg)1 This paper highlights the task of academic libraries in
promoting information skills of students in present libraries and their role in developing a knowledge society It also
explains information literacy initiatives in India mainly the role of agricultural universities in incorporating information
literacy courses entrenched into course prospectus. The piece also mentions the problems in incorporating IL across the
curriculum.
Andrew Walsh (2015)2 It is often difficult to address higher level information literacy skills in Higher Education.
This paper argues if we see information literacy as contextual rather than an absolute list of competencies, then play can
give us a route to developing those higher level skills. It takes a social constructivist approach in defining information
literacy, before going on to define play and games as belonging on a wide spectrum between completely free or open play
and highly structured games. Using examples from the literature, the paper builds the argument that play is one answer
towards meeting the need to develop high level information literacy in students, even though there is limited empirical
research into adult play and information literacy development.
Kupier and others, (2008)3 have conducted a study on the competence and precise characteristics of school
students usage of internet literacy skills. Kuiper, Els, et al. (2008). Students' use of Web literacy skills and strategies:

Eleonora Dubicki (2013)4 investigated in her research the academic faculty perceptions of information literacy at eight
New Jersey educational institutions. The study examined the value, faculty place on information literacy (IL), the
incorporation of IL into curricular learning outcomes and an evaluation of the proficiency levels students achieve in
mastering IL skills. Findings were based on results from an online survey, with a total of 353 usable responses. Overall,
faculty familiarity with IL concepts was far above the ground; faculty are devastatingly encouraging IL and are
incorporated these skills into learning outcomes for their courses. 2013, Vol. 7, No. 2, pp. 97-125
Laura Saunders (2012)5 research aims to seal the hole in the Information Literacy by surveying and interviewing
a countrywide sample of teaching faculty in six disciplines for their perceptions on the value of information literacy
competencies for their students. The results of the research provided academic librarians a wider insight in understanding
of information literacy. It also stressed to help students to advance the communicate about information literacy in various
disciplines.

INDIAN LITERATURE ON INFORMATION LITERACY

K. C. Ramakrishnegowda , R. H. Walmiki (2015)6 Conducted a research in Kuvempu University to know the
entry level computer literacy and information literacy among post-graduate students. Questionnaires were used to collect
the data for the research. The study found that most of the respondents lack awareness regarding directories, encyclopedias,
subject journals, yearbooks, etc. As many as 66% of the respondents are not able to use the Computers and many of them
are not aware of the software, hardware, storage devices etc., The authors suggest that College to take steps to integrate
Computer and Information Literacy Programme to the Students at UG level. Such training should also be carried on at the
PG level also to attain the advanced level skills and expertise. It also stresses the role of the Librarians working in the
colleges and Universities to impart such education to students.
http://www.srels.org/index.php/sjim/article/view/44502
Preeti Mahajan , Anil Kumar (2011)7 evaluated the fundamental Information Literacy proficiency and the insight
of the information literacy performance of the post-graduate students and research scholars in Punjab University,
Chandigarh. A well structured questionnaire was prepared to collect data and the results were analyzed and neatly
presented in tabulated form. It has been discussed and suggested on the basis of the results for incorporating proper
information literacy programme at Punjab University, Chandigarh. It has laid emphasis on the Students to be competent to
solve the information related problems on their own.
Pawinun and Kemparaju8 said that there are range of education programmes developed by Libraries such as
Literacy campaign, functional literacy and Library instruction.

They also mentioned that significance on IL and

information technology literacy in higher education with the beginning of online and digital libraries.
Tella Gopal and Rajgoli9 explained the role of IL in digital environment and IL models developed all over the
world. They have additionally explained the methods of implementing IL programs in higher education sector.
Ghosh and Das10 presented a paper at ICIL 2006 discussing the IL initiatives in India with reference to
particularly emerging Knowledge economy. There was also another paper by Nair stressing the link between right to
information, IL and Libraries.

28.1 % Most of the respondents have not used the right words in OPAC to search books.

Majority of the respondents use most of the time indexing services ( 74.2 % )

CONCLUSIONS
Information literacy has become progressively more important in the modern age. Information is available
throughout libraries, community resources, special interest, organizations, media, and the internet.
From the findings, on the usage of the search tools like Catalogue, Indexes, Bibliographies, OPAC, Reference
Sources like Encyclopedias, Book Bank Books and Journals (IEEE & NPTEL) has relatively given a high response to the
YES Category.
Most of the Students are mainly reliable on search engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN etc., to search for
information. They often fail to look for the quality educational resources that are made available in the Libraries. Under

this circumstance it creates a challenging environment for the Reference Librarians who will now have to take up the
teaching role, directing and educating the students to high quality print and electronic resources by evaluating them.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Information Literacy empowers people in all works of life to explore, evaluate and exploit information efficiently
to attain their personal, social, occupational and educational goals.
In view of the above statement, it is recommended that:

Information Literacy programme should be integrated in the College curriculum in such a way that every student
of the College would undergo such a programme without fail.

It is also recommended that management of MKCE should influence attitudes, policies and methods which
promote Information Literacy. In other words the management should commit itself to provide the necessary
infrastructure facilities for the execution of the Information Literacy program on campus.

Another recommendation is that the College Library should the Faculty members should encourage students
under them to promote and sustain the interest in undertaking Information Literacy programme.

The College Library should be adequately staffed and funded sufficiently so that the Library staff members would
assist students to search for information electronically.

The nature and the wide range of resources and media which are available in accessing information resources
ought to be well informed to the Information users effectively while in Information Literacy Programme.
Thus Information Literacy plays a vital role in a university Library for its academic achievement and lifelong

learning. As a result, it is argued that a lack of information literacy skills has a pessimistic impact on academic
achievement, as well as personal and professional development. It can also be said that majority of the students are not able
to access appropriate information because of lack of skill in terms of concept identification, search strategies, information
sources, proper use of library catalogues and ethical and legal use of information. So, to conclude Information Literacy
programme has to incorporated in every aspect of out life.
