Abstract:
This study investigates the level of information literacy competency among students of College of
Nursing and Midwifery School Kafanchan, Kaduna State, Nigeria. The study focuses on three basic
skills namely: Identification, accession and evaluating skills. A survey research method was employed
for this study. The study was based on the data collected through questionnaire tagged information
literacy questionnaire (ILSQ). The reliability of the instrument was determined through Cronbach‟s
Alpha coefficient statistic and the obtained value was established at r=0.73. Frequency count and
percentage were used to analyze the data. The result obtained revealed that most students lacked
ability in the identification, accession and evaluation of information resources. The study recommends
that information literacy programme be incorporated and should be a two credit units course into the
school curriculum of the school.
