Information Literacy Frameworks and Learning Outcomes

Information Literacy Frameworks

ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education
ACRL Information Literacy Competency Standards for Nursing
These standards directly address the information skills needed by nursing students at the associate, baccalaureate, master’s and doctoral levels and are written for nursing faculty and librarians who support nursing programs and nursing students in academic settings. However, because many nursing students are also practicing nurses, the skills described in the standards can be used for continuing education in the nursing profession.
