Indexes and Abstracts

The following is a list of databases or online directories related to information literacy.  Databases provide holdings to scholarly journals.  The online college directory provides links to colleges offering information literacy courses and their design.  Seven, instead of five are listed to include very helpful Academic OneFile, yet not listed in WAWL library subject E-Resources.  A online college directory would be important to search for colleges which include information literacy programs and course information.
