Patricia Senn Breivik gave us a fascinating glimpse of her key role in promoting IL in the US, using parnerships, planning and PR as her theme. The US Educational Testing Service, which is the established way of setting educational standards in the US, now have a new standard in information literacy. Wow! A quote from Pat: “the next major challenge is for all librarians to see themselves as leaders beyond the walls of the library”. So she advocates us talking about IL at parties too – I’m not sure how well that would go down with my friends!
