This document provides information about an international workshop on information literacy policies that was held in Athens, Greece. The workshop aimed to point out the strategic role of methodological approaches in developing information literacy policies. It discussed models of information literacy policies in higher education and selected methodological issues. The workshop also included panels on strategic and interdisciplinary approaches to information literacy skills. Additionally, the document provides background information on the EMPATIC project, which aims to improve perceptions of information literacy among European policymakers and support increased implementation of information literacy in education.
This document discusses three main trends affecting academic libraries and research/instructional librarians: 1) increasing use of technology and digital resources, 2) need for localized, user-oriented services, and 3) tightening budgets. These trends will require librarians to engage in planning, needs assessment, collaboration, and quantitative assessment to adapt services and resources for users in a digital environment with constrained finances.
The role of library and information professionals is changing in the contemporary digital era. Technological changes have affected professional roles and responsibilities. Important competencies for filling these roles include skills in information mediation, collection development, and digital literacy. Training and education approaches need to develop these competencies by focusing on areas like technological changes, information communication, and new methods of information distribution.
Digital Humanities at Small Liberal Arts Colleges
Digital methodologies and new media are changing the landscape of research and teaching in the humanities. Scholars can now computationally analyze entire corpora of texts or preserve and share materials through digital archives. Students can engage in authentic applied research linking literary texts to place or study Shakespeare in a virtual Globe Theater. Such developments collectively fall under the name “digital humanities,” which includes the humanities and humanistic social sciences and has largely been characterized by computing-intensive, collaborative, interdisciplinary projects at research institutions. Faculty, staff and students at small liberal arts colleges, however, are making significant contributions to the digital humanities, especially by engaging undergraduates both in and out of the classroom. Rebecca Frost Davis, Program Officer for the Humanities at the National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education (NITLE), will introduce the digital humanities landscape and share examples from small liberal arts colleges.

Validation Report - Vocational Education & Training SectorEmpatic Project
The document provides a summary of a validation workshop for the EMPATIC project regarding information literacy in the vocational education sector in Turkey. The workshop discussed:
- The importance and current state of vocational education and information literacy in Turkey
- Challenges integrating information literacy into the vocational education system in Turkey
- Suggestions for best practices and case studies from other countries that could be applied, including developing an information literacy training database and training more information literacy trainers
- Major issues identified were the lack of awareness of and budget for information literacy and the need for better cooperation between vocational education institutions in Turkey
This document proposes a strategic framework for developing information literacy in Europe. It begins with defining information literacy and explaining its importance for lifelong learning, education, and society. The document then outlines a methodology for creating an information literacy strategy based on existing models.
The proposed strategic framework includes establishing a mission to mainstream information literacy, a vision of information literate citizens and societies, and goals around awareness, institutionalization, and integrating information literacy into education curricula. It identifies stakeholders and provides examples of strategic actions and standards that could be used to measure performance. The framework is intended to guide the development of more specific information literacy models for different educational sectors.
The document outlines the quality assurance, risk management, and impact assessment strategies for the EMPATIC project. It describes the processes for ensuring high quality outputs through peer review. It also establishes a risk management framework that includes identifying risks, quantifying their likelihood and impact, and monitoring risks and responses throughout the project. Finally, it details the approach for evaluating the impact of the project's work on policymakers.
This document provides an exploitation strategy and recommendations for improving information literacy across four educational sectors. It summarizes the key findings from the EMPATIC project regarding information literacy in schools, higher education, vocational education, and adult learning. The document then outlines recommendations for policy makers in each sector and in general to help mainstream information literacy and validate new learning paradigms. The overall goal is to stimulate action at the national level to spread information literacy skills.
The document describes the scope, purpose and methodology used to identify 20 best practice cases of Information Literacy development initiatives in Europe. It aimed to find programs that illustrated strategic, coherent approaches to IL education across different sectors. Selection criteria included the country, funding source, focus/type, learning sector, literacy area, and range/stakeholders of each initiative. The best cases were meant to exemplify how to change IL policy at the EU level, as currently most activities are ad hoc and fragmented. It was difficult to evaluate initiatives due to lack of complete information, but formal criteria like illustrating the EMPATIC goals and having clear descriptions were used.
Report on Finalised Information Literacy Case StudiesEmpatic Project
This report provides case studies of Information Literacy initiatives across four learning sectors: Higher Education, Schools, Vocational Education, and Adult Education. In each sector, the report identifies key problems or potential benefits of Information Literacy based on previous Empatic project deliverables. For each sector, 2-3 case studies are then summarized that address one or more of the identified issues. The case studies provide concrete examples of Information Literacy initiatives to raise awareness among policymakers of how Information Literacy can be implemented and the benefits it provides to different learning sectors.
The document outlines 11 recommendations for policy makers in the schools sector regarding information literacy (IL):
1. IL must be promoted to stakeholders and a national IL policy developed with common European standards and learning outcomes.
2. Cooperation is needed between ministries of education, library science departments, libraries and all IL stakeholders including teachers, students, and local communities.
3. Real work and development of IL must happen at the local level but be supported by national and European policies and law.
