ACRL Board Votes to Rescind Information Literacy Standards
Illinois Association of College & Research Libraries Forum (IACRL)
June 27, 2016(via ACRL)
On Saturday, June 25, the ACRL Board of Directors voted to rescind the Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education. The Board will continue to discuss next steps to support all academic librarians working with information literacy at its public meeting at the ALA Annual Conference, on Monday, June 27, from 1:30 to 4:30 PM EST (12:30 to 3:30 PM CST), in the Hilton Orlando, Room Championsgate. It is important to acknowledge the groundbreaking work embodied in the Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education, approved by the Board in 2000, in moving the profession forward. These Standards were co-developed with and subsequently endorsed by the American Association for Higher Education and the Council for Independent Colleges.
ACRL recognizes the tremendous contributions of the Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education and the transformational work of many ACRL members working with them. Those Standards paved the way for information literacy to become common language in many general education requirements and informed many regional and subject-oriented accreditation bodies. The Board will continue to seek input from the profession as the process moves forward.
