Are We There Yet?: The Difficult Road to Re-Create Information Literacy

This article reports on surveys conducted in 2002, 2006, and 2008 by members of the Louisiana Academic Library Information Network Consortium (LALINC) for the purpose of chronicling both the status of information literacy programs in Louisiana and the role of general education directors in program formation. Results from each survey are given, along with discussion of unforeseen problems that led the authors to revamp and redistribute the survey twice. The authors conclude that the resulting 2008 survey can be used as a template for other entities that wish to track the relationship between information literacy and general education core requirements.
