IL is an international, peer- reviewed journal that aims to investigate information literacy in all its forms to address the interests of diverse IL communities of practice. JIL welcomes contributions that push the boundaries of IL beyond the educational setting and examine this phenomenon as a continuum between those involved in its development and delivery and those benefiting from its provision. JIL has an average acceptance rate of 44% for articles submitted to the journal.

Intute was a free service aimed at teachers in UK further education and higher education. Intute provided a large database of resources, each reviewed by an academic specialist in the subject, who wrote a short review and other metadata. Intute became inactive in 2011 and the archived site was closed December 2014.

"Learning in most academic institutions relies on the provision of library resources to both support and supplement what is being taught and researched. With the rapidly changing information landscape and the myriad ways in which users can search for information, the challenge of locating, accessing and searching for relevant and appropriate information resources for academic research is ever present..."

Eventbrite - Andrew Walsh presents Library "make and do" camp - Tuesday, 30 August 2016 | Wednesday, 31 August 2016 at St Thomas Centre, Manchester, England. Find event and ticket information. Library Camps can be really positive events, but tend to lack concrete outcomes afterwards. This event is intended to have the same positive vibe as well as being as affordable as possible, but based around creating materials rather than just talking about stuff (hence allowing 2 days!).

I’m attending the LILAC conference for the first time, an annual gathering in the UK focused on information literacy that attracts librarians from around the world, and the first day has been terrific. I’m learning a new language – people who attend a conference on this side of the pond are “delegates” and what we in the states call orientation for new students appears to be called “induction.” Then, given it’s happening in Newcastle, I’m learning a few words of Geordie. It’s dead canny.
A highlight of day one was hearing Ray Land of the Centre for Academic Practice at Durham University. He’s one of the principle scholars behind the notion of threshold concepts, which influenced a library research project that has, in turn, hugely influenced the new Framework for Information Literacy.

Lucky me! A report from an ongoing Project Information Literacy study about lifelong learning has just been released."
Anthony Beal's insight:
One aspect of the report highlights:
"the young graduates surveyed placed a high value on books for lifelong learning in their personal lives (87%), and to a lesser extent in the workplace (64%). Over half of the sample (65%) had read more than three books in the 12 months, according to the responses. This finding suggests that the book lives on."
