Abstract

Presents key findings from a study that investigated strategic engagement with information literacy (IL) in UK higher education institutions, as represented by the creation of formal IL strategies and references to IL in other publicly available strategy documents. Documents were collected from 75 institutions and the content analyzed qualitatively using matrix techniques. The poster identifies seven domains of engagement with IL in addition to library and information services, noting varying levels of representation of IL in the different domains. It suggests ten indicators of commitment based on the positioning, precision, and penetration of references to IL in strategy statements, which could serve as a framework for evaluating institutional engagement with IL at a strategic level. More research is needed to develop, test, and refine the proposed framework.
