ALA MIDWINTER MEETING: Framework for Information Literacy Update |
| At the 2016 ALA Midwinter Meeting in Boston, the ACRL Board of Directors took action to formally adopt the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. The Board also affirmed its intent to make a decision on the status of the Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education at the 2016 ALA Annual Conference, according to the timeline established at the 2015 ALA Midwinter Meeting. The new Framework document remains a framework, not a standard, so that it can move forward as a dynamic, living document with great flexibility and potential. A full update from the Board on the Framework is available on the ACRL Insider blog. |
