![CILASS: Centre for Inquiry-based Learning in the Arts and Social Sciences Information literacy network The Information Literacy Network is an interdisciplinary special interest group created with the purpose of bringing together in new and exciting ways key stakeholders in information literacy at the University of Sheffield under the CILASS umbrella. The Network is chaired by Professor Sheila Corrall from the Department of Information Studies and co-ordinated in partnership with the Library. It draws upon the strong research and teaching interest in information literacy in the Department, as well as on a range of initiatives in the Library, which has been instrumental in developing resources to support information literacy, in particular an online "information skills" WebCT tutorial. Information literacy is a key theme of CILASS activity, as we identify the development of information literacy capabilities as fundamental to the success of inquiry-led curricula. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Information literacy audit This project aims to develop an inquiry-based learning approach to integration and progression of Information Literacy in the Department of Information Studies both at programme and module level.
