This panel will explore the benefits of identifying Information Literacy (IL) as a discipline. The panelists are members of an international group (ILIAD: Information Literacy Is A Discipline). Each panel member will identify a long term change that could happen if IL was more widely recognised as a discipline, and note some of the conditions needed to achieve this. There will then be time for participants to debate what IL as a discipline entails and the changes that could be achieved.
