In Polytechnic Colleges during the Library hours the Librarian can follow this INFORMATION LITERACY CURRICULUM CHART it’s my humble suggestion. I followed this when I was in Polytechnic. It’s a great pleasure and opportunity that Directorate of Technical Education (DOTE) had allotted a Library Hour for Polytechnic Colleges. So please utilize it and inculcate your knowledge.
