Information Literacy: relationship between faculty and librarians

This page includes links and references to material about the relationship between librarians and academics in collaborating (or not) to educate for information literacy. For the moment it also lists a few articles about the issue of whether or not (and how) information literacy should be intergrated into the curriculum (this will be expanded into a separate page in due course).
