the <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Portland</st1:place></st1:city>
area has
developed a draft of what “Information Literacy” might look like for a

the work
initially done over the past few years by the Oregon IL Summit, where 8
general

<p class="MsoNormal">What does feeling have to do with research? Should
we care?
Should we have an Information Literacy Standard at ACRL that relates to
