Project Information Literacy (PIL) is a research institute that conducts national, ongoing scholarly studies on how early adults find and use information as they progress through, and beyond, their higher education years.

Organization

Based in California's San Francisco Bay Area, Project Information Literacy, Inc. (PIL) is a public benefit 501(c)(3) nonprofit.[1] Dr. Alison J. Head, the Executive Director and Lead Researcher, is a recognized expert in the field of information literacy research.[2]

[3]

PIL began in 2008 as a partnership with the University of Washington Information School with Dr. Head and Dr. Michael Eisenberg, Dean Emeritus and Professor at the school, as co-directors.[4] Both Dr. Head and Dr. Eisenberg have extensive experience conducting and publishing research on information literacy and the information-seeking behavior of Internet users.

[5][6][7] In 2012, PIL became a nonprofit with Dr. Head as sole director. In 2016 PIL ended its formal relationship with the Information School. [4]

Work

PIL's studies have been conducted using small teams of researchers drawn from libraries and schools of library and information science across the United States.[8]. To date, 22,049 early adults have participated in PIL studies. The institutional sample for PIL studies consists of 89 public and private colleges, universities, and community colleges, as well as 34 high schools located in the U.S. A 2016 study included data from Canadian institutions.[9]

PIL has worked with members of a sample of 260 institutions. [8][10] Partners include four-year private and public universities and colleges in the U.S. including Harvard College, The Ohio State University, University of Texas at Austin, University of Michigan, The University of Washington, DePaul University, Oklahoma State University, University of Alaska, Wellesley College and numerous community colleges. Each PIL study undergoes ethical review at the participating institutions and at the host institution where the study is based. [11] (p. 80) Studies use a mixed-methods approach. PIL has conducted student surveys, focus groups, content analysis of research handouts, extensive interviews, and computational analysis of social media interactions. Final reports include summaries of key findings, in-depth data, and recommendations. All reports are Open Access, available from the PIL website at no charge.

PIL has produced 10 major research reports, detailing many aspects of information use by college students, and more recently by recent graduates, inquiring into the factors that affect information use such as assignment design and employer expectations.[10] In October 2018, PIL released the findings of a study of students' news engagement practices in the “post-truth” era,[12] sponsored by the Knight Foundation and the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL), a division of the American Library Association. [13][14] Another project, The Reading List for Life, leverages PIL’s research findings to develop a web application for adult learners in public libraries, and is a collaboration between PIL, [15] The Open Syllabus Project at Columbia University, and the metaLAB@Harvard.In 2016, PIL published a study, funded by the Information School at The University of Washington, that examined library spaces and included data from interviews with architects and library leaders.[9]

PIL's research results have been disseminated through the reports posted on its open access website, numerous articles, conference presentations, webcasts, podcasts, and videos on its YouTube channel. PIL is recognized as an important source of longitudinal information on the information behaviors of students. [16][17][18][19][20][21] As Barbara Fister notes, “[t]his is hands-down the most important long-term, multi-institutional research project ever launched on how students use information for school and beyond.” [22] PIL reports are frequently cited in scholarly articles and linked from academic library webpages about information literacy,[23][24] used in workshops for faculty,[25] and in student learning.[26] The studies provide information about students’ and graduates’ information seeking strategies through the lens of the student experience across multiple institutional sites[24] in the U.S. and are frequently reported on in The Chronicle of Higher Education, Inside Higher Education, Education Week, and Library Journal. [27]

PIL has created a series of Smart Talk interviews[28] with leading voices related to its core purpose of understanding how early adults use information and technology to learn. Interviewees include: Ken Bain, Char Booth,

Nicholas Carr, David Conley, Cathy Davidson, Katie Davis, Dale Dougherty, Sari Feldman, Barbara Fister, Eric Gordon, Renee Hobbs, Rebecca Moore Howard, Sandra Jamieson, Joan Lippincott, Robert Lue, Andrea Lunsford, P. Takis Metaxas, Peter Morville, John Palfrey, Russell Poldrack, Lee Rainie, Howard Rheingold, Dan Rothstein, Jeffrey Schnapp, Howie Schneider, Zach Sims, Peter Suber, Shyam Sundar, S. Craig Watkins, David Weinberger, and Mary-Ann Winkelmes.

PIL hosts an annual fellowship for emerging researchers in information literacy, and runs a visiting scholar research program, with sites including the University of Nebraska--Lincoln and Purdue University.[3]

PIL has received funding from major granting organizations, companies and institutions[29] [30]
