After 17 Years, Project Information Literacy to End: One Final Contribution Will Launch This Month
Abstract
Project Information Literacy (PIL), the internationally recognized research institute
conducting large-scale national studies about students and their research habits, will
close at the end of 2025.
As the director and a principal investigator at PIL, with 25 years of experience as a professor
of new media and communication theory, I’ve spent much of my career focused on
investigating what it’s like to be a student in the digital age. For nearly two decades, a group
of library and information science and new media researchers, including myself, has created
a project that surveyed and interviewed over 22,500 undergraduates enrolled at more than
100 colleges and universities across the US.
