Regional library consortia and other groups throughout the U.S. are forming collaborative networks of librarians at all levels in order to prepare students to develop the necessary information literacy skills to be successful in college and beyond. This article focuses on an initiative of the Rochester (New York) Regional Library Council (RRLC). The Information Literacy Continuum Committee is a collaborative group of academic and school librarians in the Rochester, NY area committed to ensuring that students in K-12 and higher education institutions learn information seeking skills. The group has developed a continuum of information literacy skills for students in high school and higher education. The committee was first formed in 2004 as a result of a New York State Library Division of Library Development grant focused on the New York Online Virtual Electronic Library (NOVEL) databases. The group's original charge was to promote lifelong learning through the use of NOVEL databases. The group eventually broadened its scope to students' information literacy skills, a concern that had been expressed by council members for a few years.
