However, this assumption construes naively that information literacy is an automatic outcome.
But this link cannot be taken for granted. The reason for the uncertainty of students acquiring the
attributes of an information literate person is due generally to teachers’ lacking the awareness of the
learner outcomes in the Information Literacy Guidelines (Ministry of Education, 1999, p.I-1). Subsequently,
they are unable to teach towards these desired outcomes. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure
that these outcomes are disseminated to teachers and implemented by overtly enshrining them in the
PW strategic document to ensure that attainment of information literacy competencies is not left to
chance but be consciously measured and evaluated. Ultimately, greater coherence of desired results,
key performances, and teaching and learning experiences lead to the attainment of information literacy.
