National Forum on Information Literacy, May 21, 2004
Celebration of the 15th Anniversary

The term, "information literacy," had just been introduced to representatives of a number of national organizations which came together to start the Forum in spring 1989.

Since then--with some help from the Forum--information literacy has become a  serious global concern that is well-addressed across a wide spectrum of professional and educational literature and by many highly respected national and international organizations.
