The S.U.R.E. Campaign is an Information Literacy awareness campaign initiated by the National Library Board (NLB) of Singapore. Information Literacy (IL) programmes are traditionally run by academic libraries. In Singapore, NLB drives the IL awareness for the nation.
On 23 October 2013, the S.U.R.E. Campaign was launched to the nation to promote the importance of information searching and discernment.
Background
The NLB's National Information Literacy Programme (NILP)[1]began in 2011 and aims to nurture a nation of discerning users of information.
At the initial phases of the NILP,NLB conducted a broad-based information literacy programme outreaching to entire cohorts of Primary 3, Primary 5 and Secondary 1 children to give them a strong foundation in finding, evaluating, interpreting and using information intelligently and responsibly. The Programme brought students through cumulative levels of information literacy skills (Basic, Intermediate to Advanced) that is current and meets the real-life challenges of a changing information environment.
Apart from students, the NILP also reached out to teachers and parents through Information Literacy workshops.
In 2012, The NLB's National Information Literacy Programme underwent a rebranding exercise in order to bring information literacy awareness to the general public.
Logo
The S.U.R.E. logo is symbolic of being able to see through information clutter. The image of a cloud is a friendly visual stand-in for information haze, while the acronym, s.u.r.e.,in the middle represents ‘cut-through’.
The colour blue is chosen to represent clarity, while the clean, rounded typeface selection complements the cloud design. Each letter of the acronym is explained below the cloud.
