While the Framework recognizes that information emerges from varied contexts that reflect uneven distributions of power, privilege, and authority, it is missing a cogent statement that connects information literacy to social justice. In this article, authors concerned with social justice and civic engagement will share their reflections on the Framework from a critical pedagogical and social justice orientation.  \n[PERSPECTIVES EDITED BY ROBERT SCHROEDER]  \nBattista, et al, Seeking Social Justice Communications in Information Literacy 9(2), 2015  \nINTRODUCTION  \nIn 2014, after the release of the first and second drafts of the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education, a dozen librarians 1 responded with a statement titled “Social Justice and Civic Engagement in the new ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education.”2 This group was concerned that the Framework lacked explicit articulation of the ways in which social justice issues intersect with information literacy education: social inclusion, access, critical awareness of the mechanisms of establishing authority, cultural, historical, and socioeconomic contexts, and civic and community engagement. In general, the authors of the statement for inclusion of social justice and civic engagement supported the revision in progress as an“articulation of information literacy [that] offers space for the contextual nature of research, scholarship, and informationseeking practices” (Baer, et al., 2014) . Therevision process was also an opportune moment to recognize the political nature of the work of information professionals in higher education.  \nUnambiguous connections between social justice, human rights, and information literacy can be found in United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO) and the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions’(IFLA) Beacons of the Information Society: The Alexandria Proclamation for Information Literacy and Lifelong Learning (2005) in which information literacy is declared a“basic human right...and promotes social inclusion of all nations” as well as redresses  \ndisadvantages and advances “the well being of all.” More recently, IFLA’s Media and Information Literacy Recommendations states that information and media literacy“bridge the gap between the information rich and the information poor” (2011) . Likewise, social justice and human rights perspectives in relation to information literacy and librarianship have been articulated by numerous LIS scholars (Durrani, 2008; Elmborg, 2006, 2012; Gregory & Higgins, 2013; Jacobs, 2008; Jaeger, Taylor, & Gorham, 2014; Kapitzke, 2003; Mathiesen, 2009; Phenix & McCook, 2005; McCook & Phenix, 2008; Morrone, 2014; Samek, 2007) . These critiques could have informed a clearer stance on complex issues that affect students in the final draft of the Framework filed in February 2015. The Framework authors acknowledge a“significant effort to try and draft a frame about information as a human right that took a stronger social justice stance,” but decided social justice components were better woven throughout the other frames instead (ACRL, 2015a) .  \nAny document that seeks to distill and codify practices, goals, and values will be fraught and contested. The Framework offers improvements from the Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Educatio","cbCaim8lYxdGK4Or","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim8lYxdGK4Or","pdf",474369,15,"English","# Introduction\n## Social justice and civic engagement in early Framework drafts\n## UNESCO/IFLA foundations and related LIS scholarship\n# The Framework creation process and missed opportunities\n## Standards review timeline and revision rationale\n## Contestation over codifying practices, goals, and values","[{\"question\":\"What gap does the article identify in the ACRL Framework regarding social justice?\",\"answer\":\"It argues the Framework is missing a cogent statement connecting information literacy directly to social justice, despite acknowledging how power and authority shape information production and consumption.\"},{\"question\":\"How do the authors propose addressing social justice within the Framework?\",\"answer\":\"They share reflections from a critical pedagogical and social justice orientation, focusing on how social justice intersections can be woven through existing frames.\"},{\"question\":\"Which organizations and concepts are used to support the link between information literacy and social justice?\",\"answer\":\"The article cites UNESCO’s Alexandria Proclamation and IFLA recommendations, framing information literacy as a basic human right that promotes inclusion and helps bridge inequalities.\"}]","Seeking Social Justice in the ACRL Framework - Volume 9 - Issue 2 | PDF",1792087625,38]
