Articles on academics' perceptions

Thanks to Chris Armstrong for highlighting this article from Claire McGuinness' doctoral work:
McGuinness, C. (2006) "What faculty think: exploring the barriers to Information Literacy development in undergraduate education. Journal of Academic Librarianship, 32 (6), 573-582.
Abstract: "This paper reports findings from a recent Irish-based study into faculty-librarian collaboration for information literacy (IL) development. Qualitative analysis of comments made by Sociology andCivil Engineering academics shows how entrenched beliefs and perceptions may adversely affect the potential for collaboration, and prevent the inclusion of information literacy in undergraduate curricula."

In checking this I also noticed:
Gullikson, S. (2006) "Faculty perceptions of ACRL's Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education." Journal of Academic Librarianship, 32 (6), 583-592.
Abstract: "Faculty were asked how important for their students the Association of College and Research Libraries' Information Literacy Competency Standards'outcomes are, and when students should display the relevant skills. Faculty believe most of the Standards' outcomes are important but show little agreement on when students should acquire them."
