English and writing instructors know that information literacy is often combined with first-year English or writing courses. The Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education were first adopted by the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) in 2000. This document has become an essential document related to the emergence of information literacy as a recognized learning outcome at many institutions of higher education.
The ACRL Board of Directors has appointed a task force to significantly revise the standards in order to address the changing information climate and information needs of students. ACRL recently announced that a draft Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education is available for review and feedback, due July 15. Online hearings will be held July 7 and 11 for all stakeholders to learn more about the direction the task force is taking and, most importantly, to share their input, reactions, and questions. Follow the link below to find out more and to share your opinion on the new draft standards.
