What is Information Literacy?

 

The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education defines Information literacy as "the set of integrated abilities encompassing the reflective discovery of information, the understanding of how information is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new knowledge and participating ethically in communities of learning."

 

The Framework is organized into six frames, each consisting of a concept central to information literacy, a set of knowledge practices, and a set of dispositions. Learn more about the Framework with the interactive graphic below.
