Abstract
This study aims to establish a comprehensive Digital Information Literacy (DIL) skills model tailored for librarians across diverse Pakistani universities. Employing content analysis, the research conducted a literature review to identify contextually relevant DIL skill statements. An expert panel evaluated a draft list of DIL skills, informing the development of a research questionnaire using a Likert scale. Chief librarians from various universities constituted the study population. Out of 160 distributed questionnaires, 132 were returned and analyzed using ANOVA. The study resulted in a DIL skill model comprising fifty-six validated and ranked skill statements, categorized into five groups: Use of Personal System (PC), Digital Tools Utilization, Ability in Digital Services, Skills in Technology Applications, and Digital Innovative Technologies. The study recommends integrating these DIL skill contents into the LIS curriculum and encourages librarians in university settings to adopt the model to enhance their proficiency in digital information literacy.
