ACRL (Association of College and Research Libraries) has created standards guidelines for librarians -- and anybody else -- interested in the definition and goals of information literacy. This is a great place to start for professionals interested in seeing what they should be aiming for with their information literacy programs -- face-to-face or online. The standards are just one useful portion of the web site.
S.O.S. for Information Literacy

This site is a treasure trove of lesson plans and class materials from information literacy professionals. If you are looking for a community to join, you can participate by uploading your own stuff.
There are countless examples of good online information literacy programs. Some of my favorites are:
- TILT -- Texas Information Literacy Tutorial (http://tilt.lib.utsystem.edu/)
- Information Literacy and You from Penn State University Libraries (http://www.libraries.psu.edu/instruction/infolit/andyou/infoyou.htm)
- Information Literacy Tutorial from University of Wisconsin - Parkside (http://www.uwp.edu/departments/library/infolit/intro)
- LILI from the South Australian TAFE Libraries (http://www2.tafe.sa.edu.au/lili/)

WOW! These are brilliant links. You could develop a whole career just from the information you garner, incorporate, and adapt into your own curriculums.
No kidding. It amazes me that Information Literacy Instruction for an entire college is something the library is expected to just absorb into its daily schedule without an increase in staff or resources.
You have posted some great websites. I am going to share them with my daughter who is an elementary educator. I think she will be very interested in the website that has suggestions for lesson planning.
