Abstract

This paper analyses and evaluates the current institutional Information Literacy Training Programme (ILTP) at the Tshwane University of Technology. The Library and Information Services re-examines its ILTPs from previously merged Technikons in terms of the background and conditions as well as the design and approval of a new programme. This baseline evaluation examines the development of a training programme for scholars using electronic databases in the contact on-campus delivery mode and to the proposed multimodal training approach. We recommend the content, format, assessment approaches and delivery mode for the ILTP.
