The Library from time to time also holds Information Literacy Skills training workshops to train clients. Information Literacy is 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 for academic purposes. Information Literacy is increasingly becoming important in the contemporary environment due to technological change and proliferating information resources.
