Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I am pleased to tell you that yesterday, President Obama signed a
proclamation identifying October as National Information Literacy
Awareness month
(http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Presidential-Proclamation-National-Information-Literacy-Awareness-Month/).
This was an initiative of
the National Forum on Information Literacy (http://infolit.org
<http://www.infolit.org> ), supported by Senator Kerry and the late
Senator Kennedy. Lana Jackman, President of the National Forum, deserves
much credit for leading the effort.
Thanks to all of the librarians who contacted legislators to support the
initiative. This is a great moment for all of us!
