  • Mapping the Journey: Developing an Information Literacy Strategy as Part of Curriculum Reform Salisbury, Fiona Sheridan, Linda College Curriculum Curriculum Development Information Literacy Academic Libraries Undergraduate Study Electronic Learning Foreign Countries This article will outline the development of an Information Literacy Strategy in 2009 as part of an overall program of curriculum review and renewal at La Trobe University, Australia. Current information literacy programs at La Trobe University Library employ a diverse range of approaches and delivery methods. However, they are limited in scope and scale while they are optional additions to the curriculum. Through participation in a university-wide process of curriculum review and renewal, the library has developed a systemic, coherent and sustainable approach to the design of undergraduate information literacy programs. The resulting strategy employs a combination of online and individual instruction and support embedded into the curricula structure and reflected in assessment tasks. It provides a model of research skills education that gives all La Trobe University students the opportunity to develop foundation information literacy in first year and to graduate with the necessary information literacy skills for study, work and lifelong learning.
