This Information Literacy course was developed, for and in close collaboration with Rhodes University, with funding provided via the Eastern Cape Higher Education Association (ECHEA).

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 originally developed by Janine Lockhart and the late
Adriaan Coetzee, and was based on a CHEC prototype which was
subsequently workshopped with librarians and academic support
specialists at Rhodes University. The willingness of CHEC, in the
person of Dr James Leatt, to use its site as a basis for developing
this course for Rhodes University is gratefully acknowledged.
