AASL and ACRL launch discussion list for information
literacy
The American Association of School Librarians (AASL) and
the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL)
have launched INFOLIT - an electronic discussion list for
information literacy. INFOLIT is a forum for school,
academic and public librarians to exchange ideas on
information literacy programs and experiences that
demonstrate a collaborative relationship between K-12 and
higher education institutions.
The INFOLIT discussion list is an initiative of the
AASL/ACRL Interdivisional Committee on Information
Literacy, whose charge is to focus on how to prepare K-20
students to be information literate and to provide a
channel of communication to the respective divisions. This
interdivisional committee is a channel for sharing ideas on
information literacy in K-20 environments and a source of
professional development opportunities in this area. The
committee focuses its work in the following areas:
To discuss ways to prepare K-20 students to be information
literate. To provide a channel of communication for the
respective divisions. To facilitate a forum for sharing
ideas on K-20 information literacy. To be a source of
professional development opportunities on information
literacy.
The INFOLIT discussion list is open to all school, academic
and public librarians interested in discourse about
information literacy topics and K-20 curriculum issues.
The list is moderated by Amy Deuink, Reference/Instruction
Librarian, Ciletti Memorial Library at Pennsylvania State
University (Schuykiss Haven). To subscribe to the INFOLIT
list, send a blank email message to
