Purdue's Information Literacy mission

Purdue University Libraries (USA) have just revised their information literacy mission. It now reads "Purdue University Libraries’ research-based information literacy programming empowers Purdue’s diverse communities of learners to use information critically to learn and to create new knowledge, fostering academic, personal and professional success." There is more information on this, and on their other information literacy activities, at http://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/purduetoday/releases/2016/Q2/purdue-libraries-revamps-information-literacy-mission-statement.html
Just a quick google identified other North American libraries with information literacy mission statements, e.g. Gateway Community College and Albright College - do add a comment if you have one.
