CILIPS > Information Literacy: Securing Change > Toolkit

This toolkit is intended as a practical aid that will support the development and implementation of information literacy courses. The framework is, however, extremely flexible and so can be applied to other learning programmes and is transferable across sectors.

The Toolkit consists of 4 main areas:

Planning for change

A comprehensive and methodical planning process will provide a solid foundation for successful initiatives. This section provides planning tips, covering the preliminary stages right through to preparing for action.

Advocacy for change

Effective advocacy depends on a well-researched business case and effective writing skills. This section will help you to build a persuasive argument.

Implementing change

This section highlights the central issues for consideration at the implementation stage and beyond, covering progress monitoring and celebrating success.

Assessing the impact of change

Clear mechanisms should be in place from the onset to demonstrating impact. This section begins with the process of identifying success criteria and goes on to deal with the process of measuring progress.
