Guidelines for Teaching Information Literacy to Engineering Students at Busitema University

Information competencies are a key factor in lifelong learning. They are the first step in achieving educational goals. The development of such competencies should take place throughout an engineering student's life, especially during their educational years, where librarians, as a part of the learning community and, as experts in information management, have or should assume the key role of facilitating information literacy. Through the creation - collaboratively between librarians and the engineering lecturers, of information literacy curriculum-integrated programmes, librarians should actively contribute to the students’ learning processes in their search to enhance or develop the skills, knowledge and values needed to become lifelong learners.
