The primary purpose of the Information Literacy Section is to foster international cooperation in the development of information skills education in all types of libraries. The Section focuses on all aspects of information literacy including user education, learning styles, the use of computers and media in teaching and learning, networked resources, partnerships with teaching faculty in the development of instructional programmes, distance education, and the training of librarians in teaching information and technical sills. It is the mission of the Section to disseminate information on information literacy programmes and trends. The Section is very willing to work closely with other IFLA bodies and other organizations in the development of programmes, workshops and projects related to information skills instruction.
