Deadline Date: November 26, 2004
The WILU 2005 program will challenge participants to reflect on the placement of information literacy in the broader context of other forms of literacy. Join us to explore a broad range of the theories and practices of the many faces of literacy: reading and writing, computer, information, media, visual, statistical and academic literacy. What role do libraries and librarians play in addressing, promoting, and collaborating with partners to advance these forms of literacy?
