Information Literacy success

Congratulations to CILIP's Information Literacy Group (ILG) (as reported in the March Update 6(3) and the Information Literacy Blog) on their success in persuading the DfES that the school curriculum in England needs to incorporate effective information literacy training when changes are made in 2008-9.

The Update article (page 3) goes on to report that:

"DfES Deputy Director for Curriculum Julie Bramman has since notified the Training Development Agency, with the implication that the ILG will help develop training materials for teachers, as well as pupils."
