The Centre for Information Literacy (CIL) was established in 2000 out of the former Department of Library and Information Studies in the Faculty of Humanities. The aim of the centre is to contribute to teaching, learning and research at UCT such that graduates can develop and work within a complex information society. CIL is a small unit that offers advice and workshops aimed at inculcating information literacy, whilst also undertaking postgraduate teaching and research supervision in Library and Information Science. Apart from running specific courses and modules for undergraduates and postgraduates, CIL works with programme conveners to find effective ways of incorporating information-literacy knowledge and skills as an integral element of undergraduate and postgraduate curricula.
