In the fast emerging Global Knowledge Society, information literacy (IL) has become essential skill for the students to find, evaluate and use effectively the needed information to achieve their educational goals in view of the rapidly changing technologies and increasing complex variety of information resources. This paper explains the concept of IL, discusses the need and importance of IL and highlights the IL competence standards for higher education. It also discusses the IL initiatives at global level and emphasises the urgent need for the development of IL programmes in Indian higher education system.","PeriodicalId":433348,"journal":{"name":"Pearl: A Journal of Library and Information Science","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125938346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
