I bet that we already have a lot of IL issues in the curricula but they are not visible and stated clearly as learning outcomes. Or the IL issues are written down to the learning goals but the issues are not called "information literacy". If that is the case, I would not worry: it is not so crucial who teaches the IL issues and what they are called as long as students learn what they need to learn to become academic professionals.
Of course, it is important to point out what we are able to do in the libraries, or is it? What do you think?
