Role of University Libraries in Imparting Information Literacy Skills Among Indigenous Post Graduate Students in India
Abstract
The chapter examines the role of university libraries in imparting information literacy skills to indigenous students in three Indian universities. It explores the many facets of information literacy on indigenous knowledge and culture, how it is integrated into academic curricula, and how academic librarians' roles as information literacy educators are changing. It highlights the importance of preserving indigenous culture, traditions, and customs. The chapter also describes various stages and channels by which information literacy can be analyzed to create awareness of library services at the university level. Information literacy of indigenous PG students has not been found satisfactory of the three universities. Also, the library has to take proper initiative to enhance IL among these students. The chapter also looks to what extent the university library has a collection of tribal literature and whether the tribal students use the collection to enhance their subject knowledge.
