Meeting with the Finnish Information Literacy Network

Finland can be viewed as a model for other countries for having succeeded in making their political decision-makers aware of the importance of IL. The CILIP Community Service: Information Literacy Sub Group was delighted therefore, when the Finnish Information Literacy Network contacted them to arrange a visit to discuss possible cooperative projects.  This meeting took place on Monday 17th December 2007.
