This Information Literacy course was developed in 2001 for the Cape Higher Education Consortium by Janine Lockhart and Adriaan Coetzee of the Cape Technikon. It sets out to teach the most commonly needed information concepts in higher education learning at all levels but it emphasises the skills needed for first-time, entry-level, study. The course was based on a Cape Technikon prototype which was subsequently workshopped with librarians and academic support specialists at the University of Cape Town, Peninsula Technikon, the University of the Western Cape, Cape Technikon and the University of Stellenbosch. These are the member institutions of the Cape Higher Education Consortium (CHEC).	Definition of Information Literacy

The course is owned by the Cape Higher Education Consortium's Infolit Project as the project funder. It is provided to the CHEC member institutions for any appropriate use. It may also be altered and located within each institution's information resources infrastructure in any way that would ensure that it meets the unique institutional requirements and needs. The developers welcome any feedback on any aspect of this resource and they would gratefully receive any suggestions for enhancement and improvement. It is envisaged that later versions might incorporate such suggestions. The developers may be contacted at the Cape Technikon, or by e-mail to lockhartj@cput.ac.za or coetzeeaj@cput.ac.za.
