| dc.description.abstract | As information literacy (IL) is a process for fostering independent learning, it lays solid foundations for the goals of the higher education institutions. This paper describes the information literacy learning models of two universities: the University of Helsinki, Finland (HU) and the University of Namibia (UNAM). The paper starts by briefly presenting the information literacy models commonly applied in the higher education institutions and which we consider the most relevant in this context. In the main part of the article we introduce the University of Helsinki “Pick’n Learn” Information Literacy Learning Menu and the University of Namibia Information Literacy work. The paper discusses how the particular models or policies were developed in the two universities and what kind of challenges were encountered in the practical work. The paper concludes with a discussion of how the practical models chosen in HU and UNAM relate to the existing information literacy definitions. | en_US |
