In the development phase, the author established four curricular working groups
from Year 1 to Year 4 in a fourth university in New Zealand. Academic staff, librarians,
learning designers, learning advisors, IT support staff and the author worked
collaboratively in these curriculum groups to design information literacy curriculum
and to integrate information literacy across an academic program from Year 1 to Year
4. In this phase, a community of information literacy integration practice was formed
according to sociocultural theories. In this community, each group member shared
their common understanding of the purpose of the information literacy integration and
brought in their expertise knowledge to the group. For example, course lecturers are
well versed in their subject field and know what is expected of students in a particular
course or degree programme. Librarians brought not only their expert knowledge on a variety of information resources and the skills required for effectively searching for information, but also for managing and evaluating information for subject discipline applications. Student learning advisors brought their expertise in skills such as writing, summarising, annotating bibliographies, thinking critically, referencing and citing skills. Learning developers assisted by supporting curricular design and assessment. IT staff support online learning activities such as online peer-reviews system.
