A strategy is a plan of action designed to achieve a
particular goal. The word strategy has military
connotations, because it derives from the Greek word for
army.[1]
Strategy is different from tactics. In military terms, tactics
is concerned with the conduct of an engagement while
strategy is concerned with how different engagements are
linked. In other words, how a battle is fought is a matter of
tactics: whether it should be fought at all is a matter of
strategy.

“The goal of the NJIT Information Literacy Plan is to
ensure that NJIT undergraduate (UG) students graduate
with adequate and competitive information literacy (IL)
skills This plan is intended to meet and/or exceed the
Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE)
IL skills accreditation requirements and the New Jersey
Commission on Higher Education (NJCHE) academic
licensure rules.”

Who is IL assessment for?
1. Assessment should inform the learner about skill levels
compared to other learners.
2. Assessment should inform the institution how their
students are collectively performing.
3. Assessment should comparatively inform outside
agencies and the public how that institution is performing.

“The revised standards for accreditation in the Middle States
Region, especially the emphasis on information literacy as a
meta-outcome, could have an impact on higher education in
at least three areas: long range planning, especially with
regard to assessment, a change in the institution dialogue
about student learning, and increased collaboration woven
into the campus culture.”

“Currently in higher education, both on campus and
online, we individualize faculty practice (that is, we allow
individual faculty members great latitude in course
development and delivery) and standardize the student
learning experience (that, is we treat all students in a
course as if their learning needs, interests, and abilities
were the same). Instead we need to do just the
opposite: individualize student learning and standardize
faculty practice. ” p. 38

Learning Strategies for Millennials:
1. Increase teacher – student interaction; feedback
2. Engage students (motivation; involvement)
3. Accelerate student learning
4. Increase experiential learning (gaming;
simulations, role playing)
5. Increase learning options
6. Increase peer-to-peer (collaboration) learning
7. Offer more “pull” web based learning options
8. Offer more interactive multimedia learning.

“As mentioned above, Web 2.0 is participative. That
participation is often seen to be on the part of end-users
such as bloggers, and this is certainly true. For libraries
and associated organisations, though, there is equal scope
for participation. We need to work together. Libraries,
library systems vendors, publishers, standards bodies,
government agencies, more. None of us can do all of this
alone, and all of us stand to benefit from doing it together.”

“There are several variations in open access publishing:
"Gold OA": A fully open access journal hosted by the publisher
with no barriers to online access.[citations needed]
Hybrid open access journals provide open access only for some
articles, those for which payment is made on behalf of the author.
Delayed open access journals open access to particular articles
only after a period of embargo.
"Green OA" is open access self-archiving (deposit by its authors)
of material which may have been published as non-open
access.[citations needed]
Non-open access distribution is called "toll access" or

“Another area requiring attention and leadership is the
development of innovative and effective business models for
sustaining digital resources. Business planning plays a critical
role in this environment and provides one of the most
interesting areas for experimentation. Business planning in this
field requires having a grasp of real costs. Models for covering
those costs include subscription-based revenue streams, open
access funded by university budgets, or grant funding for
individual projects or collective infrastructure/staffing. All these
projects come with significant costs, whether we call the
resulting resources open access or revenue-supported
projects.” p.40
