ILI-L Mailing List Archive
ILI-L (Information Literacy Instruction Listserv) was created in May 2002 as a new iteration of the online community that Martin Raish created with the BI-L Listserv in 1990. ILI-L is hosted on the American Library Association server, sponsored by the Instruction Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries, and moderated by the Instruction Section List Manager. With ILI-L, the Instruction Section hopes to sustain the thriving exchange on instruction and information literacy that made BI-L such an important venue for communication among librarians from a variety of settings and backgrounds. The default delivery option for ILI-L is DIGEST - ie: you receive an entire day's postings in one bundle, sent at 12:01 am the next day.
