ACRL’s Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education has been an influential document for nearly 15 years, defining and codifying the concept of "information literacy," not just for librarians, but across the higher education landscape. It has also served as the foundation document for numerous discipline-specific standards, including the Information Literacy Standards for Science and Engineering/Technology. For the first time since 2000, the ACRL Information Literacy Standards are undergoing extensive revision and transformation, shifting away from information literacy competencies and towards a new pedagogical framework that introduces information literacy concepts, dispositions, knowledge practices and metaliteracy learning objectives.
This poster will present this new framework, situating the changes within the larger complex and dynamic information ecosystem and highlighting specific scenarios for information literacy in the agricultural sciences.
