> 	You are invited to submit proposed articles for a special issue of
> Academic Exchange Quarterly entitled "The Many Faces of Information
> Competence."  The issue is co-edited by Michael Adams of the City
> University of New York Graduate Center and Mariana Regalado of Brooklyn
> College.
>
> 	Academic librarians are increasingly instructing targeted groups
> within the academic environment. Such groups include freshman learning
> communities, international students, graduate students, and faculty. 
> Each
> of these groups is far from homogenous because of the diversity of their
> expectations of libraries and their information-seeking experiences. 
> Even
> into the twenty-first century, many faculty members, for example, are
> reluctant to use electronic resources.
>
> 	How can we develop instruction programs that will address the shared
> needs of such groups and the diverse needs of individuals? What 
> assessment
> tools are available to measure the success of such programs? How can we
> identify constituencies being underserved?
>
> 	Manuscripts are sought that describe successful (and even
> unsuccessful) approaches to information literacy for targeted groups
> and/or diverse populations in higher education. Manuscripts are also
> sought that report on quantitative or qualitative evaluations of the
> impact of information literacy programs, courses, and components of
> courses.  A wide variety of approaches to this topic are sought.
>
> 	Academic Exchange Quarterly is a scholarly journal fostering
> education, career growth, and personal development for college and

> perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes.  Over 23,000 institutions and
> individuals subscribe to the print edition of Academic Exchange 
> Quarterly,
