Perret, R. "Mission Critical? The Presence of Information Literacy in Academic Library Mission Statements", Library Philosophy and Practice, 2018.
Abstract
This paper examines the mission and vision statements of the largest academic library in each of the United States to determine whether information literacy is included in these top-level guiding documents. It is found that only a quarter of these institutions include information literacy in these statements, which suggests this vital aspect of librarianship may be undervalued at an organizational level.
