- From an Initiative to a Program: Making the Case for Information Literacy Brasley, Stephanie Sterling Strategic Planning Academic Libraries Information Literacy Library Instruction Librarian Teacher Cooperation Information Skills Outcomes of Education Program Evaluation Program Implementation Evaluation Methods Case Studies Barriers Change Strategies Program Descriptions Program Development The UCLA Library has had a long-standing commitment to the attributes espoused by the teaching library model outlined in the seminal essay by Stoffle, Guskin and Boisse, "Teaching, Research, and Service: The Academic Library's Role" (1984). Information literacy was identified as a goal in the Library's strategic plan in late 2001. This served as the catalyst for the library's two-year Information Literacy Initiative (ILI). The ILI provided a mechanism for systematic library-wide and campus-wide planning and collaboration to promote information literacy among the campus community. This case study outlines the multi-faceted approach of the ILI program to further information literacy at a large, research-based university, addresses problems and barriers, and offers some solutions for collaborating with campus and library constituents. Program assessment, impact, and future directions are discussed.
