Engelond: A model for faculty-librarian collaboration in the information age

The question of how, best to incorporate information literacy instruction i nto the academic curriculum has long been a leading concern of academic lib rarians. In recent years, this issue has grown beyond the boundaries of pro fessional librarianship and has become a general concern regularly addresss ed by classroom faculty, educational administrators, and even regional accr editing organizations and state legislatures. This essay reports on the suc cess of a pilot program in course-integration information literacy instruct ion in the field of medical studies. The author's experience with the "Enge lond" project provides a model for the ways in which information literacy i nstruction can be effectively integrated into the academic curriculum, and for the ways in which a successful pilot program can both lead the way for futher development of the general instructional program in all academic lib rary, and serve as a springboard for future collaborative projects between classroom faculty and academic libraries.
