Abstract |
Information literacy policy is not the same as information technology. Information and communication technology skills tend to concentrate on using hardware and software effectively to process and communicate information. Information literacy policy, on the other hand, is concerned with recognizing when information is needed, and locating, critically evaluating, using and presenting the information to suit a specific purpose. The paper concluded that the mere establishment of written national ICT policy, however, has value in itself. At a minimum, it conveys the message that the government is forward looking and intends to pursue the utilization of ICT in the society. Government should aspire, of course, to do more by putting the policy content into actual practice and becoming a role model in applying ICT in their administration and services.
