The document discusses the connections between Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) and Information Literacy Across the Curriculum (ILAC). Both aim to teach foundational skills like writing and research throughout students' academic careers rather than in isolated courses. They share goals of developing critical thinking and the ability to communicate knowledge. However, incorporating ILAC has faced challenges like differing definitions of information literacy, reluctance of librarians to teach, and difficulties scaling up support. The document proposes addressing these through conceptual changes to focus on research as process and connections to real-world issues, as well as active changes like assessing information literacy in courses and incorporating it into curricula.
