The New Literacies Alliance is a consortium of academic libraries building ACRL Framework-based online information literacy lessons. The lessons can be embedded in websites and libguides, synced with most learning management systems, or taken by students in the cloud. All lessons are institution, vendor, and technology agnostic meaning that they can be used by any institution.
