    Computer literacy for primary seven vacists
    (Busitema University, 2022) Lugya, Fredrick Kiwuwa; Busitema University; Busitema University Library; Busitema University Council
    The course was developed as a series of modules with the thought that computers have a different impact in different academic and vocational areas and therefore that computer literacy will have a different meaning to different individuals to become "computer literates" so that individual should obtain the level they wish to attain with respect to their academic discipline, job requirements, or personal goals. All of the "hands-on" exposure to computers will be the order of the day. Computer applications and other aspects of computer studies all will be integrated within the course. The hands-on activities are the most important parts of this course.

    (Busitema University, 2022) Lugya, Fredrick Kiwuwa; Busitema University; Busitema University Library; Busitema University Council
    The course was developed as a series of modules with the thought that computers have a different impact in different academic and vocational areas. Digital literacy has a different meaning to different individuals. To become "digital literate", an individual should obtain the level of literacy with using digital resources and computer skills they wish to attain with respect to their academic discipline, job requirements, or personal goals. The course will put strong emphasis on practical assignments or "hands-on" exposure to computers. Computer applications and other aspects of computer studies all will be integrated within the course.

    IR Policy:
    (Busitema University, 2022) Lugya, Fredrick Kiwuwa; Busitema University; Busitema University Library; Busitema University Council
    This document describes in detail BDEARS Policy on Works that can be submitted to and stored in the BDEARS, the criteria for eligibility to deposit material along with the policy on long term preservation of material and quality control. The policy document also highlights the selection, retention and withdrawal procedures relating to research material held in BDEARS. BDEARS is an initiative of the University Library. It contributes to the commitment of the University to support research activities. It provides an open access platform to capture, store, index, and distribute globally a wide range of research outputs, including undergraduate, masters and doctoral theses, produced by the university’s academic staff, researchers, staff in the administrative units, graduate and undergraduate students. The aim of BDEARS is to promote the University’s research profile by exposing Busitema’s research outputs online. This will assist in increasing citation rates and the impact of Busitema research and innovations. BDEARS is a complement to traditional research publishing channels, not a replacement. It provides University researchers and graduate students with secure, stable and long-term storage of their Works in a centralized location.

    The Literate Engineer:
    (Busitema University, 2023-03) Lugya, Fredrick Kiwuwa; Busitema University; Busitema University Library; Busitema University Council
    The Policy Guidelines on Teaching Information Literacy to Engineering Students at Busitema University called "The Literate Engineer" have been compiled by the Library Staff at the Engineering Library in liaison with the teaching staff of the Faculty of Engineering and Technology at Busitema University. This was made possible with funding support from the Engineering Information Foundation (EiF) of New York, United States. The goal is to incorporate information seeking in the teaching of engineering courses as essential component in delivering engineering education at Busitema. This novel approach to teaching and learning gives shared responsibility to lecturers and librarians to teach engineering courses. Lecturers will be facilitators who empower students to become more autonomous; librarians will be the coaches who develop within students a capacity to evaluate and choose information; and in turn, engineering students will experience a more engaging, interesting, and rewarding education experience. Engineering librarians will have as one of their main goals to facilitate engineering students to acquire information competencies. Information skills are vital to the success of lifelong learning, employment, and daily interpersonal communication of engineers, such as when managing complex engineering projects. We are certain that learning for engineering students will receive higher approvals. The policy guideline details the processes for infusing information literacy into the courses. The policy guides the curriculum developer on what to include in the courses; what engineering students should know and be able to do and the kind of support that the lecturers need to deliver the course. Accordingly, the policy guideline is an exemplary curriculum review guide - a tool that will assist in planning and implementing a rich-high-quality information skilling instructional programme. The policy guides on the mandate of the lecturers and librarians in course development, defines information literacy concepts, assesses learning theories to information literacy, discusses lifelong learning paradigm, the adaptation of information literacy international standards to educating a literate engineering, the management of learning and facilitation of instruction throughout the study programme, and stakeholder capacity development to enhance their facilitation skills.

    The Literate Engineer:
    (Busitema University, 2023) Lugya, Fredrick Kiwuwa; Busitema University; Busitema University Library; Busitema University Council
    We at Busitema University, Faculty of Engineering and Technology believe that information literacy is a required element of a literate engineer. Engineering graduates must have the essential information literacy competencies to succeed as independent, lifelong learners in their careers and in all aspects of their personal lives. The guideline1 on teaching information literacy to engineering students at Busitema University emphasize the collaborative nature of information literacy: librarians and lecturers working together on teaching research and information literacy skills to students. This integrated approach to teaching engineering courses at the Faculty of Engineering and Technology will be guided by this action plan for the next two years (2022 - 2024). Our desire to empower student engineers become literate engineers is articulated in a six-point strategy that put great emphasis on improving online teaching and learning experience through augmented and enhanced collaboration between librarians and lecturers for impactful IL programming. Developing the Literate Engineer action plan, Busitema University Library and the Faculty of Engineering and Technology is demonstrating its commitment to excellence in its IL programming. There is always room to develop, change and achieve a higher level of success. In this action plan, we build on what has been done over the past years and look towards our future progress.
