Information literacy competency standards for journalism students and professionals Approved by the ACRL Board of Directors, October 2011

摘要

Beginning in 2006, the Communication Studies Committee (ACRL, Education and Behavioral Sciences Section) collaborated with a variety of organizations to develop information literacy competency standards for journalism undergraduate students, graduate students, and professionals. Committee members conducted a literature review, consulted with professional journalism organizations from 2007 to 2009, met with communication and journalism faculty in 2007, presented a draft at the 2007 National Communication Association conference, participated in ACRL discussions related to information literacy competency standards in the disciplines, and met with an ACRL Information Literacy consultant in 2008.
