Dear all,
The Project 'Information literacy: the link between secondary and
tertiary education' has now become The Scottish Information Literacy
Project: working with partners to create an information literate
Scotland. URL http://www.gcal.ac.uk/ils/. The project was originally set
up to devise an information literacy framework linking secondary and
tertiary education, the (Scottish) National Information Literacy
Framework. The first draft of this is now almost complete and it is
hoped to pilot it with partners in academic year 2007-8. The Project has
now expanded to include the role of information literacy in the
employability and workplace agendas, in lifelong learning, in continuing
professional development and the adult literacies agenda. Advocacy work
has also been undertaken including a petition to the Scottish
Parliament. Partners were recruited in secondary and tertiary education
at an early stage in the Project and workplace and literacies partners
are now being recruited. The international agenda is also being pursued
via the International Alliance for Information Literacy. The Project
works with appropriate NGOs including the Scottish Credit and
Qualifications Framework, Learning and Teaching Scotland and Ofcom
Scotland. Project funders include Eduserv and Learning and Teaching
Scotland.
Best wishes
