Earlier this month I discussed the core information literacy (IL) competencies at NJIT. This morning we had a staff meeting on how to implement the information literacy plan. It obviously will not happen overnight. It is the responsibility of the individual academic departments to insure that every undergraduate obtains the necessary instruction in the eight IL outcomes. The librarians will assist faculty in identifying and/or developing relevant educational materials.
Departments and colleges are required to develop their own IL plan for each of their undergraduate programs due to the UCRC (University Curriculum Revision Committee) by October 15, 2009 which will review the IL plans and respond to the college or department by December 1, 2009. All programs will start implementing their IL plans by the Spring 2010 semester. All programs must archive assessment evidence supporting their IL plans in time for the next Middles States Accreditation.
