Abstract
One of the fundamental challenges of the information era is how to ensure that the majority of the members of a given society are information literate in order to deal with problems of inequitable access to and use of information as an empowerment tool for socio-economic progress. A variety of educational and training strategies have been developed and tried in different parts of the world to address this challenge. This study investigates the nature of information literacy education in community junior secondary schools in the North-East district of Botswana and the role of teacher-librarians and school libraries in such a process.
