Information literacy has become essential to individual success and national competitiveness. Yet in the United States it remains, at best, of secondary interest to policy-makers.
This summit will present informative and timely discussions among government, education and business leaders on information literacy and its impact on the global society, workforce readiness, and public policy in the United States.
Sponsored by the National Forum on Information Literacy in partnership with the Committee for Economic Development, Educational Testing Service, the Institute for a Competitive Workforce, an affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the National Education Association.
