3rd Leg of UNESCO's 'Training the Trainers on Information Literacy' to be held in Malaysia

The 3rd leg of UNESCO's current global workshop series on 'Training the Trainers on Information Literacy' will be held in cooperation with the Universiti Teknologi Mara, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on 11-14 August 2008. Funded by the Bureau of the Intergovernmental Council for the Information for All Programme (IFAP) of UNESCO, the series consists of 11 sessions to train 25-50 participants 'in the best available pedagogies for teaching information literacy'.

A principal goal of the project is to sustain the momentum generated by UNESCO, IFAP, alongside efforts of other organizations like the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), the National Forum on Information Literacy (NFIL) and the National Commission on Library and Information Science (NCLIS), to disseminate information literacy models.
