Archambault, Loyola Marymount University  \nAbstract  \nTraditional information literacy skills (e.g., effectively finding and evaluating information) need to be updated due to the rapidly changing information ecosystem and the growing dominance of online platforms that use algorithms to control and shape information. This article proposes additions to the current ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education that relate to algorithmic literacy. The “Authority is Constructed and Contextual”frame can be applied to recognizing the need to question algorithmic authority (including algorithmic bias), the Information Has Value” frame can be used to acknowledge online platforms’ use of proprietary algorithms allowing third parties to access personal data, and the “Searching as Strategic Exploration” frame can draw attention to search results in online platforms are mediated through algorithms. Classroom activities to teach the new knowledge practices and dispositions are also included.  \nKeywords: algorithmic literacy, information literacy, algorithmic awareness, AI literacy  \nPerspectives  \nedited by Andrea Baer  \nArchambault, S. G. (2023). Expanding on the frames: Making a case for algorithmic literacy. Communications in Information Literacy, 17(2), 530–553.  \nExpanding on the Frames: Making a Case for Algorithmic Literacy  \nDuring a typical day, college students interact with algorithms in online platforms and leave behind their digital footprint every time they use their computer, cell phone, and required educational software. Head et al. (2020) argued that to be information literate today, students need a new set of information skills, the most pressing of which is “how information works in the age of algorithms”(p. 8). I agree that improved pedagogy for algorithmic literacy instruction is crucial for students to develop greater awareness of when they are interacting with algorithmically curated content in their online environment. This article will propose additions to the current Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education (Association of College & Research Libraries [ACRL], 2015) that relate to algorithmic literacy.  \nOverview of Algorithms and Algorithmic Literacy  \nAlgorithms are sets of instructions or sequences of logical steps for a computer to use on a body of data to accomplish a task, such as organizing search results by relevance (Gillespie, 2014). Another way to describe an algorithm is as a recipe, or a step-by-step guide that prescribes how to obtain a certain goal, given specific parameters (Bucher, 2018) . For example, the task of giving a user the most relevant search results might involve calculating the combined values of pre-weighted objects in the inde","cbCaiindE978Aqzy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiindE978Aqzy","pdf",284366,25,"English","# Abstract\n# Perspectives\n# Overview of Algorithms and Algorithmic Literacy","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the article identify with traditional information literacy?\",\"answer\":\"Traditional information literacy skills need updating because online platforms increasingly rely on algorithms that shape and control the information ecosystem.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the article propose connecting algorithmic literacy to the ACRL Framework?\",\"answer\":\"It proposes additions to the ACRL Framework for Higher Education, mapping algorithmic literacy practices to frames such as authority being constructed and contextual, information having value, and searching as strategic exploration.\"},{\"question\":\"What classroom goal does the article emphasize for teaching algorithmic literacy?\",\"answer\":\"Students should develop awareness of when they interact with algorithmically curated content and learn related knowledge practices and dispositions.\"}]","Expanding on the Frames - Making a Case for Algorithmic Literacy | PDF",1792088791,63]
