I have been re-reading some articles in preparation for my trip. “Australia leads two sets to one – Information literacy down under” by Jo Parker and Liz Waller, Sconul Newsletter 26, 2002 p23. gives an accunt of a similar visit a few years ago. Even then it seems IL was much more embedded within universities at the highest levels in Australia, with many more institutional level policies. I’d like us to move towards that here at Newcastle, maybe the info I bring back from my visits will help to inform our development.
