Abstract
Librarians, faculty, and administration have long recognized that information literacy instruction cannot exist in isolation—and that the most successful information literacy programs involve collaborative efforts from all campus constituents. By now, however, faculty-librarian collaborations in individual courses are the norm. One librarian’s review of the literature from 2000–2009 analyzed 133 documented examples of such collaborations.1 The movement now is for information literacy instruction and assessment to be happening at the programmatic level and involve continual dialogue between all campus stakeholders—librarians, faculty, and administrators—about the place of information literacy in the curriculum as a whole. This paper describes our efforts to find where information literacy skills are being taught across the curriculum by embarking on a collaborative curriculum mapping project.
