Institutional Strategies: Best Practices

The first phase of the Best Practices Project, which involved developing criteria for assessing information literacy programs and identifying model programs, was completed in June 2003 when the ACRL Board approved Characteristics of Programs of Information Literacy that Illustrate Best Practices: A Guideline. This phase also included an invitational conference in July 2002. A full description of the first phase of the project is available.

In the second phase of the Best Practices Project, the Project Team will publicize and promote the Best Practices document, both inside and outside the library profession, and enhance the document with examples, annotations, and case studies.

The Project Team meets at the Midwinter and Annual American Library Association meetings. These meetings are open to any interested conference attendees. Meeting minutes are available.

Inquiries about the project should be sent to Terese Heidenwolf.
