Information literacy, IL models and programs

Here are some different IL models. I really had no idea there were so many. There are lots of choices. They will help when trying to create an IL policy. I have learned why it important to include the faculty and principal when creating an IL policy or program for the school. This is one area that you do want the teachers to all have a common understanding, process and language to use.
