Facilitated Questions:

1. Who should be involved in the planning and discussion of LEAP initiatives on your campus? How should this person be selected? And what are the library’s goals?

2. What steps should the library take in order to further integrate information literacy into the General Education Curriculum?

3. Are there LEAP-related initiatives that your library is working on outside of integration of information literacy into the general education curriculum? How is your library identifying and prioritizing these initiatives?

4. How could CUWL assist libraries as the LEAP Essential Learning Outcomes are adopted by more campuses?

5. Information Literacy initiatives are resource-intensive: How does your library plan to deal with staffing and other resource issues – especially given the current economic climate?

6. How can we share messages about our participation in LEAP and our information literacy initiatives beyond the library at the campus, system and national levels?
