In any domain of learning, instructors will have developed a sense of the typical errors learners make; however, there has been no systematic investigation and documentation of predictable misunderstandingsin information literacy learning in higher education. This study begins to fill that gap.  \nThrough an analysis of survey responses and focus groups, the researchers identified nine information literacy misconceptions and developed a model framework of information literacy misconceptions. The article concludes by proposing learning outcomes that could counter the misconceptions.  \nKeywords: misconceptions; first year students  \nHinchliffe, L.J., Rand, A., & Collier, J. (2018).
