Where do we
                          stand? Information
                          Literacy: European
                          report
Sheila Webber
University of Sheffield
Department of Information Studies
August 2008
UNESCO Training the Trainers workshop, Quebec City
A varying picture: despite harmonisation
•   Different educational systems and approaches
•   Differing approaches to national healthcare
•   Different Government priorities
•   Different histories
•   Different languages
•   (and so forth)
•   (and what is “Europe”?)

                                          Sheila Webber, May 2008
