An information literate person is an educated person. Information literacy has been described as the new liberal art and it needs to be approached as critical part of a contemporary education. A curriculum and pedagogy must be developed that transcends the practice of "how to library" or the mere "content" of particular courses. How can we make liberal education, including the art of information literacy, relevant, engaging, and preparatory for life long learning? What might we envision as being the best process for matching what we see as relevant student outcomes with what we offer?
