The Empire State Information Fluency Continuum was initially developed in New York City under the auspices of the Office of Library Services and Director Barbara Stripling as the New York City Information Fluency Continuum in 2009.
It was endorsed in 2012 by the School Library System of New York State (SLSA) and renamed the Empire State Information Fluency Continuum (2009/2012).
It was re-imagined in 2019 under the leadership of Barbara Stripling to “adapt to the changing information, education, and technology environments, as well as the increasing diversity in … student populations”.
It currently serves 3.2 million students in 4,236 schools in New York State alone.
