Information Literacy is seeking to develop a basis for an efficient and effective usage of
E-lib.ch. The project Information Literacy at Swiss Universities is focusing on three goals:

1. Adapting existing foreign standards for teaching information literacy as well as specific educational objectives and pedagogic guidelines to the standards of Swiss universities.
2. Establishing a web-based competence centre for existing training materials (model class modules, class material, tutorials, e-learning modules, exercises, tests etc.) and developing complementary new material (for example a toolbox for e-learning).
3. Developing a concept of training and continuing education for librarians and arranging training possibilities for the didactic and pedagogic competencies of the qualified staff.
