The Association of College and Research Libraries have provided a framework for information literacy.
SVC Librarians take the recommended frames into consideration when proving content and instruction to students. For more information, see links below.
The ACRL Frameworks consist of a concept central to information literacy, a set of knowledge practices, and a set of dispositions. The six concepts that anchor the frames are presented alphabetically:

Information Creation as a Process
Information Has Value
Research as Inquiry
Scholarship as Conversation
Searching as Strategic Exploration
