Given our discussion this morning, I thought it appropriate to forward this announcement from Milne Library News.  Information literacy is not solely the realm of any one department or group on an academic campus.  I think the words used in the proclamation “…we must also learn the skills necessary to acquire, collate, and evaluate information…” capture much of the concerns we expressed this morning.  The “how” is still the question, is it not?

Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and true progress. -- Nicholas Murray Butler
