S.U.R.E. Campaign 2013 Promoting Information Literacy Awareness to Singaporeans
2
The objective of the S.U.R.E campaign is to maximise awareness of information literacy through the building blocks “Source, Understand, Research, Evaluate” to our target audiences who range from youths (Secondary 1 onwards) to working adults (age 20s-50s). The campaign hopes to achieve 5 million interactions. This includes both online interactions (such as number of resource downloads from S.U.R.E portal and number of likes and shares on S.U.R.E social media sites), as well as offline/real-life interactions that include number of participants trained/ outreached and number of S.U.R.E activities completed by students.

Our 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.

23 October 2013, Warna 94.2FM (1.35pm) S.u.r.e. Programme
With plenty of information available on the internet, mobile phones and social media, one should be able to intelligently process all
this information to avoid confusion. To help the public, especially students, to research and evaluate information, the National
Library Board (NLB) launched the S.U.R.E. programme to help people obtain and understand the correct information. Librarian, Ms
Faridah Ibrahim, mentioned that NLB has also worked with schools to introduce the S.U.R.E. programme to teachers and students
and now they aim to share the programme to the public as well. Two new books in the “Sherlock Sam” and “Triple Nine Sleuths”
series carry the S.U.R.E. campaign message.

23 October 2013, 93.8 LIVE News (5pm) How do you tell the gurus from the 'gundus' National Library Board has the answer The National Library Board (NLB) has launched S.U.RE., a four step campaign to teach the public to become more literate when consuming information. S.U.R.E. stands for Source, Research, Research and Evaluate. Deputy Director, National Library (Engagement), Wan Wee Pin said that with the avalanche of information we receive on a daily basis, there is a sense of complacency and uncertainty as to whether the information we come across can be believed. The campaign is part of the National Info-Literacy campaign. NLB has been working with MOE to help students apply S.U.R.E. principles, and is now extending this to the national level, through toolkits and an online portal where members of the public can access resources to learn more about S.U.R.E.
