I was talking today to someone about information literacy in further education colleges: as anyone in that area will know there is far less literature than there is about universities. I was recommending looking at the material written about IL in Australian TAFEs, so I thought I'd mention that here too. TAFE stands for Technical And Further Education and I think they are the nearest equivalent to the UK's FE colleges (someone correct me if I'm wrong). You can actually find some good material by doing a search on good old Google TAFE "Information literacy".
To pick out a couple of specific items:
Fafeita, J. (2006) "The Current Status of Teaching and Fostering Information Literacy in TAFE." Australian academic and research libraries, 37 (2), 136-162. http://alia.org.au/publishing/aarl/37.2/fafeita.pdf (this reports on a survey of TAFE librarians)
LEARN Network of South Australian TAFE Libraries. (2006) Learn Information Literacy Initiative (Lili). http://www2.tafe.sa.edu.au/lili/index.html (A tutorial)
You also might want to keep an eye on the wiki Towards a knowledge commons: modelling a transformation of library services and information resource provision in the Vocational Education Sector http://victafe.pbwiki.com/
