DESCRIPTION
Lifelong Information Literacy (LILi), an informal group of California librarians, designed and administered an information literacy (IL) survey to determine the status of instruction, identify content taught, and determine gaps in instruction in California, USA. The online survey was conducted first in 2006 and repeated in 2013. Participants were recruited through listservs maintained by various professional library organizations and voluntarily completed the questionnaire. Events affecting California libraries between 2006 and 2013 included the Great Recession, the adoption of new IL standards by the California State Board of Education, and the declaration of IL as one of five core competencies by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) accrediting body. In 2013, 94.9% of California librarians reported teaching ILI.
