Prescriptive/Diagnostic Assessment of Information Literacy Skills of Science Students at PCACS: A Pilot Study

This study attempts to analyse the information literacy skills by UG science students of Pillai College of Arts, Commerce and Science, Maharashtra (PCACS). The objectives deal with the awareness and use of different types of learning resources and services offered by the institute library. The study also identifies lack of training and technical knowledge to use Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) as the major hindrances faced by the students in PCACS. This paper recommends the implementation of ILEP for the optimum utilisation of learning resources and services offered by the library.
