The Spring 2005 issue of Library and Information Research has just been made available free on the web, and it is devoted to reports from the LIRG/SCONUL IMPACT initiative. I highlight a couple below, but actually most of the articles are looking at aspects of information literacy.Crawford, J. (2005) "Glasgow Caledonian University: impact of developing students’ information literacy". Library and Information Research, 29 (91), 20-21.

This article includes a short section on the results of a survey of alumni (who thought IL was really useful!) [I bumped into John Crawford on Sauchiehall Street while in Glasgow last week - the photo on the right was taken while I was up there, and is of the River Kelvin, Kelvinbridge, Glasgow]
