Abstract

Purpose – To describe a project which aims to provide libraries in Denmark with freely accessible and tested course materials. Design/methodology/approach – A descriptive paper describing a ten module set of teaching materials for promoting information competence based on Bjarne Herskin's educational theory. Findings – That the model described is robust but faces future challenges: for example, the challenge of sheer growth in student numbers and widening participation initiatives, the need to re‐model the curriculum to involve more online learning and to centre around clinical scenarios, the challenge of optimising the relationship between the National Health Service (NHS) and higher education (HE) sectors. Research limitations/implications – In particular, the models of assessment used and analysis of future challenges present potential for further research analysis. Practical implications – This paper offers many practice‐based examples of how to enhance levels of health information literacy. Originality/value – The well developed methods of promoting information literacy outlined in this paper are worthy of note by practitioners both within and beyond the health information field.
