1. The National Information Literacy Institute has been renamed the Institute for Information Literacy to distinguish the Institute from the National Forum on Information Literacy. The National Forum has a different but equally important mission: it is a coalition of education associations outside of librarianship that focuses national attention on the importance of information literacy to individuals, the economy, and an informed citizenry. Patricia Breivik, dean of Wayne State University Libraries, has been the moving force behind the National Forum.
