Abstract
The curriculum outlines what we believe to be a continuum of skills, competencies, behaviours and attitudes ranging
from functional skills to intellectual operations that together comprise the spectrum of information literacy.
The overarching aim of the curriculum is to help undergraduate learners to develop a high‐level, reflective
understanding of information contexts and issues which will empower them with a robust framework for handling new information situations, and to generate strategies for evaluating, analysing and and assimilating that information as needed and at the time it is required.
