video: Augustana Info Lit Program

interesting video describing the info lit program. It has a small lib staff that offers discipline-specific, for-credit courses in info lit. Personally, I think we should be pushing for the college to go this sort of path (albeit w/ courses delivered online) - the discipline-specific to make the content more relevant and the credits to make the effort on the part of the students more appealing. Anyways, the video (30 min) explains the program from the perspective of the librarian, faculty, admin and student and could be a decent model (and tool to bring the decision makers over to our side) if we decided to undertake pushing for a similar kind of program here.
