Description: The recommendation describes the minimal level of objectives in information literacy at university level in Finland.

Objective: The purpose of the information literacy curriculum is to define the central elements of information literacy and assist in the development of the contents of courses in information skills. Changes in the Finnish university curriculum by 2005, in accordance with the Bologna process, required universities to make an analysis of their core curriculum components. This process offered an opportunity to link information literacy more closely and coherently to the subjects taught in universities. The integration of the recommended curriculum in the study programmes of all Finnish universities would greatly enhance the comparability of degrees and the transferability of credits from one university to another.
