Abstract
AbstractThe ultimate goal of information literacy (IL) theory and instruction is to prepare people who are first students and then adults to continue learning throughout their lives from the multitude of information sources that surround them. Academic librarians in the United States have adopted the Framework for Information Literacy that encompasses threshold concepts, knowledge practices, and dispositions. The Threshold Achiement Test for Information Literacy (TATIL) by Carrick Enterprises was developed to measure all of those pieces. I deployed two different modules of the test in an undergraduate course with over 200 students. I used the results of the disposition tests and overall information literacy to understand how information literacy theory can be advanced toward a more active focus on critical thinking and attitudes of students that will persist throughout their lives.KeywordsInformation literacyThreshold conceptsDispositionsCritical thinking
