Librarians need to be able to read critically published accounts of educational and training interventions (ETl) and to apply the results to their own practice. One mechanism for assisting library practitioners in doing this is the critical appraisal checklist. This article describes the process of developing such a checklist - involving a literature review of existing frameworks and experience in appraising such studies for a systematic review of information literacy skills training. The ReLIANT instrument is offered as a first attempt to equip library practitioners with a tool for use when appraising published reports of educational and training interventions.

The ability of information literacy is very important for teachers in carrying out their duties and functions because it is related to the teacher's ability to find, access, and evaluate information. In addition, information literacy skills are also related to lifelong learning that teachers need to improve their competence independently. Information literacy competencies need to be established through education and training in universities. Some studies have found that the teacher's literacy ability is still low. It takes an effort to prepare teacher candidates who have information literacy skills, one of which is by developing an information literacy-based curriculum (ILbC) for teacher education. In this article, the author studies literature related to curriculum concepts, organizations, models, designs and curriculum structure based on information literacy for teacher education. Base on the analysis, the ecletic (combination of cognitive process and technological concept) concept, integrate curriculum organization, Walker model, and problem centered design is appropriate fo developing ILbC. The curriculum structure is also presented. This curriculum is expected to be an alternative to develop information literacy skills of prospective teacher students.
