Information Literacy: IFLA/ UNESCO

I was not able to attend the IFLA conference this year, but there were as usual interesting IL activities there. There is a report about a pre-conference workshop in:
Botswana daily news archive (2007) "Information literacy alleviates poverty." 16 August. http://www.gov.bw/cgi-bin/
news.cgi?d=20070816&
i=Information_literacy_alleviates_poverty


They also launched a competition for an international logo to symbolise information literacy globally (a challenge!)- for information go to the website at http://www.infolitglobal.info/
I notice that the site has been redesigned for the better since I last visited, with links to the latest additions to the resource directory etc., key publications and translations highlighted and so forth.

I have also highlighted already the programme page for the 2007 IFLA conference which has full text of papers, sometimes in several languages, but I think there are some further papers added since I mentioned it a few months ago http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla73/Programme2007.htm
