Dutch schools Information Literacy

This interesting (ENSIL: European Network for School Libraries and Information Literacy) blog entry is by Helen Boelens of Kalsbeek College, The Netherlands (a secondary school with about 2300 pupils). It has introduced an information literacy framework, and the information specialist (Boelens) has been using action research on this as the focus of her doctoral studies. "The model used for the information literacy instruction is known as the KILM (Kalsbeek Information Literacy Matrix). A detailed description of the KILM will be published on 31 January 2007, during a meeting of Dutch school librarians and other visitors." Her entry has links at the bottom to articles by Boelens on the situation of IL in schools in the Netherlands, and her work.

[Apologies to those of you who saw a more enigmatic form of this entry that I meant to save as "draft" last night, but this morning I realised I'd saved it as "publish". At least it didn't have rude words in it or anything]
