What should an information literacy package contain

Information literacy being the seeking, retrieval and manipulation of information, in a ethically Infocorrect fashion. Regardless of the medium and format which it is presented. There are several models to explain what an information literacy package should contain- the most widely agreed upon

Content
1. Realising there is a need for information and how much information is needed
2. Research skills, both in traditional formats and online.
3. Critical thinking, the ability to evaluate and assess the information, to ensure accuracy, decency, legitimacy and validity.
4. Communication, of how the information will be presented from the reader to the audience and how the information will be collected.
5. Library skills, which is to encompass everything from finding a book using OPAC, to creating an Athens account, and doing a Boolean search within JSTOR.
6. Media literacy, to encompass computer literacy and visual literacy
7. The organisation and adapting of information. 

it's also important to work with the academics, to ensure timely delivery of the content, to soon into a new course and the information will be irrelevant, to late and it's equally pointless. 

Presentation
Regardless of the format, whether it be standing in front ova PowerPoint presentation, so it resembles a lecture,or something more flash like prezi, it doesn't matter along as the message is getting across to them. engaging  in to technology may  interest students more, or have the opposite effect of distracting from the message. However, in an attempt to be environmentally friendly I wouldn't create massive amounts of printed handouts , unless it was due to DDA. If it is, ensure enlarged font sizes, as well as printing on different coloured paper. 


Involment
To ensure learning has taken place, an activity is a excellent  ethos of testing this.vagain this can be as technologically  focused as you like from a interactive game online, to a series of activities. Or a question and answer session, participation is important, without it the above was pointless. Demonstrating certain points, for instance where the ebooks are but then letting them find something they are interested in, provides a stronger learning outcome.
