The TLT Group
has been involved in the shaping and dissemination of the
Information Literacy movement. Thanks to
an invitation some years ago from ACRL (Assoc.
of College & Research Libraries), Steve Gilbert, President of
the TLT Group, was pleased to serve on ACRL's Initiative
that focused on identifying characteristics of best
practices of undergraduate programs of Information Literacy.
The result of that work was a set of guidelines, approved by
the ACRL Board in June, 2003 and titled "Characteristics of
Programs of Information Literacy that Illustrate Best
Practices: A Guideline." As of July 7, 2009, that
valuable document is available at:
http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/standards/characteristics.cfm
These Guidelines
identify 10 important categories: Mission, Goals and
Objectives, Planning, Administrative and Institutional
Support, Articulation with the Curriculum, Collaboration,
Pedagogy, Staffing, Outreach, and Assessment/Evaluation.
The TLT Group
has continued active relationships with National Forum on
Information Literacy and with ACRL. We offer a series
of online workshops on Information Literacy co-sponsored by
ACRL, and a variety of resources linked to this
page.
The TLT Group
continues to enjoy and appreciate its relationship with ACRL. We
also welcome other co-sponsors for similar online events -- click here
to learn about
being a co-sponsor.
