This article by Claire McGuinness has just been published in the new online journal Communications in Information Literacy Claire argues that targeting individual academics in order to integrate IL into the curriculum will only ever be a partial solution and that aligning IL objectives with the overall academic mission of the institutions so that IL is recognized as a core educational value is a more sustainable approach. She outlines several strategies to achieve this. Our Newcastle IL Forum, whilst it is a “bottom up” approach, does still have the potential to develop in this way, I think.
