Librarians, are in fact, the epitome of information literacy. Their career focuses on identifying information problems, finding information, analyzing, synthesizing and evaluating the information, and then ensuring that the library's community has access to the information. Librarians need to weave the fabric of information literacy into the souls of the students. Librarians, therefore, need to actively forge teaching relationships with academic faculty. They need to work together to integrate information literacy into the teaching and learning processes.
Information literacy needs to be across the curriculum rather than a component of a single course.
For information literacy skills to be viewed as being vital to the academic curriculum, librarians must take an active role in education faculty about its value. To this end, librarians need to have a voice in the curriculum development. Librarians and faculty need to work together as equal partners, rather than the librarian being seen as a service to faculty. Integration of information literacy into the curriculum is analogous to writing across the curriculum . Prior to collaborating with faculty on constructing a curriculum for information literacy, we need to question what is involved.
