A survey of UK universities (n=114) was conducted to identify evidence of strategic commitment to information literacy. .... The survey found information literacy was well represented in institutional strategies for information, student skills, and learning and teaching, but less evident in graduate attributes and research strategy documents. There were striking differences in the levels of engagement and the quality of strategy statements. The findings were used to define indicators of commitment and to develop an evaluation framework comprising a matrix tool and visual model. " There are also papers on blogging and on other aspects of information behaviour.
