The New Literacies Alliance is a multi-institutional collaborative effort that creates and shares a broad range of online information literacy lessons. These ACRL Framework-based lessons can be embedded in websites and LibGuides, and can be incorporated into most learning management systems. Sharing is key to our mission, so each lesson features a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license and our content is not tied to any one institution, so educators can use and adapt the material as they see fit.
