Information Literacy - background
This page covers a range of Information Literacy guides, reports, research and directories.
Look at the Information Literacy site for the UK:
The Information Literacy Website
http://www.informationliteracy.org.uk/
There no longer appears to be a special section for schools.
Also the Information Literacy sub-group of CILIP is worth a visit:

ALA|AASL Resource Guides for School Library Media
Program Development
Shortened Link
“These web-based guides comprise a working bibliography of resources
gathered by AASL staff and members to assist us in answering the many
requests for information about school libraries that we receive
throughout the year.” The newly redesigned ALA website has some very
long URLs - I have had to shorten this one or the page would not fit on
the screen.
