Vitae, the body in the UK concerned with developing researchers, has published its
Researcher Development Statement. This outlines attributes, skills & knowledge which are needed by researchers. This will set the agenda for training for research students and other researchers in UK universities. It identifies four domains: Domain A: Knowledge and intellectual abilities; Domain B: Personal effectiveness; Domain C: Research governance and organisation; Domain D: Engagement, influence and impact. "Information literacy and management" and (separately, curiously) "Information seeking" are included in Domain A, in the subdomain "Knowledge base". There are some other aspects of what I would call IL elsewhere, but at least IL is in it (there was some good lobbying from the CILIP IL Group). You can find the statement, and associated material, at
