Abstract

The Information Literacy Framework: Case Studies of Successful Implementation provides librarians with examples of how others have implemented and used ACRL’s Framework for Information Literacy in a variety of settings. The book is split into three sections: Preparing to Use the Framework , Case Studies of Instruction Using the Framework , and Educating for the Framework . Given the amount of uncertainty that librarians have expressed since ACRL introduced the Framework , this text should be useful to many. While the learning environments will differ, librarians should be inspired by the case studies to adapt the ideas to their own environments. Case studies come from a range of institutions including a private boarding (high) school, large state universities, community colleges, and large and small private universities. While the editors are current faculty at schools of Information or Information Science, practitioners author most of the chapters, with several Information Science faculty contributing to the section on educating for the Framework .
