Information Literacy Unit (ILU)
Although
TUCL has been conducting Library Orientation Programme for quite a long time
to the students of Central Departments of University Campus. The programme was
limited library literacy only. The objective was to make them familiar with
the library. So those new students are able to retrieve documents of their
interest from the library. Because of the several barrier of information one
library’s resources are not enough to meet the information requirement of
users. If one conceives the World as information Center/System, users must
have the skill to retrieve the information from worldwide, which is scattered,
in different location in different format. The skill acquired in Library
orientation programme is not enough to retrieve the information from
worldwide. Therefore, need of information literacy Unit at TUCL was felt to
produce information literate graduates who complete their Master Degree from
University Campus. The information Literacy Unit at TUCL started in July 2002.
The
objective of the Unit is to provide information to users from electronic
resources available at TUCL as well as from abroad. And, to impart information
literacy skill to users practically, so that when they go to their work place,
they ate able to retrieve information of their interest from all over the
world using all kind of resources.
