Information Literacy for Life

Another high quality College of DuPage program brought to us courtesy of the State Library and Archives of Florida. The panel brought together three librarians from very different institutions and backgrounds to explore how school librarians, public librarians, and academic librarians can collaborate to create comprehensive information literacy programs that span a user’s lifetime. They provided a foundation for starting a local dialogue based on national principles.

I especially liked the ideas they provided for how school and academic libraries can build relationships and the benefits to both organizations.

And near the end the suggestion to start with the smallest local organization rather then jumping right into the national organization. So you might consider connections within the NEFLIN region or looking to FLA for potential connections.

Don't miss the strong list of resources to supplement the discussion.

If you missed the program you can request the DVD or VHS from the MLL or you can request the replay information to watch it on your desktop at your convenience.
