This paper presents the findings of a research project about Australian TAFE libraries' information practices. The projects addressed two research questions: What are the practices that TAFE libraries use to teach and foster information literacy? What changes have occurred since the last TAFE information literacy survey in 2001? During 2005, 154 libraries completed a web-based survey. The results provide a status of current practice and identify key areas that TAFE libraries can focus on to improve professional practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
