Pratesi, Bowling Green State University  \nAbstract  \nThis exploratory mixed-methods study investigates faculty perceptions of information literacy (IL), its instruction, and librarian collaboration teaching IL since the adoption of the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education at the authors’ institution. Many previous studies examining these questions were completed when the ACRL Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education was the guiding document for the profession. Like earlier studies, findings from this study clearly demonstrate that faculty value IL and that collaborations occur in differing and inconsistent forms. However, at the authors’ institution, there is a misalignment between faculty and librarians in what IL is and what it encompasses, including the amount of overlap between critical thinking skills and IL. The data indicates a discrepancy between the value faculty place on IL and the instructional interventions supporting student IL skill development. The authors discuss the implications of these findings in their local context.  \nKeywords: information literacy, critical thinking, library instruction, faculty perceptions, ACRL Framework, ACRL Standards  \nCox, A., Nolte, A., & Pratesi, A.

A few years later, ACRL introduced a more complex definition of IL by adopting the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education (2016), just as the phrase “fake news” became common parlance during the 2016 presidential election, putting IL in the national spotlight. These national conversations mirrored what was happening at the research","cbCaitTTyUHmLQJ5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitTTyUHmLQJ5","pdf",301795,18,"English","# Abstract\n# Background and Context\n## Standards vs. Framework Approaches\n# Study Focus and Rationale\n## Faculty Views and Collaboration","[{\"question\":\"What does the study examine regarding information literacy?\",\"answer\":\"The study examines faculty perceptions of information literacy, how it is instructed, and how librarian collaboration supports teaching IL.\"},{\"question\":\"How do the authors frame the shift in IL approaches at their institution?\",\"answer\":\"They compare earlier standards-based views (ACRL Competency Standards) with the later Framework-based definition adopted after 2016, noting resulting tensions and changing emphasis on campus.\"},{\"question\":\"What key misalignment does the study identify?\",\"answer\":\"The study finds a mismatch between faculty and librarians about what IL includes, particularly regarding the extent of overlap between critical thinking skills and information literacy.\"}]","Investigating Faculty Perceptions of Information Literacy and Instructional Collaboration - Article 5 | PDF",1792088793,45]
