Seeber  \nUniversity of Colorado Denver  \nThe development of the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy has sparked an immense amount of conversation among academic librarians, though the profession is still far from consensus with regards to if, when, or how the document should be implemented. This essay argues that despite debates over various points within the text, the overall theme of the Framework is a call for librariansand educators to recognize the importance of context when discussing information literacy. As this relates to the curriculum of higher education, instruction and assignments can no longer afford to separate \"school\" from \"real life.\" Classroom instruction must recognize the political, cultural, and socioeconomic dimensions of information, as well as the systems of privilege and oppression that accompany these dimensions, and encourage students to critically engage with these systems when conducting research and creating information.  \n[PERSPECTIVES EDITED BY ROBERT SCHROEDER]  \nSeeber, This is Really Happening Communications in Information Literacy 9(2), 2015  \nA LOT HAS HAPPENED  \nI was at a statewide library unconference a few weeks ago. In keeping with the unconference format, the day opened with all the attendees sitting around a big table, tossing out ideas for different sessions. Topics included \"dealing with library renovations,\" \"looking for more outreach opportunities,\" and \"developing roving reference models. \" I recommended that we\"talk about the Framework.\" Almost immediately, a colleague and friend of mine followed by recommending that we \"talk about Framework fatigue.”  \nI could easily relate to the sentiment. Beginning with the release of “Draft 1, Part 1” in February 2014, the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education has sparked more discussion, debate, and reflection on what it means tobe an instruction librarian than any other event in my decade in academic libraries. The process of drafting, reviewing, revising, critiquing, and implementing the document has generated untold numbers of tweets, blogs, and conference presentations, and now we are beginning to see the conversation expand into the scholarly literature. It is also worth noting that all of this published and presented material, immense as it is, rests alongside still more conversations, taking place in coffee shops and conference rooms and a thousand other casual settings.  \nFor those of us who have been following the process closely and trying to get a handle on where the professional consensus is, it has required quite a bit of time and energy. Oneof the most challenging aspects for me has been trying to find footing on ground that  \nalways seems to be shifting. While some professionals have sought to explain the strengths of the document and discuss its implementation (Oakleaf, 2014; Townsend, Lu, Hofer, & Brunetti 2015; Witek, 2015), others have offered thoughtful critiques, voicing a variety of concerns and reservations (Beilin, 2015; Seale, 2015; Wilkinson, 2014) . As I attended conferences this past year and spoke with librarians from wide and far, I was struck by how many people were effectively “in the middle”when it came to the Framework. They liked parts, disliked others, and were wondering what, if anything, they should do next.  \nWhich is why, for the purposes of this essay, I would like to step back for a moment. I would like to set aside discussions of threshold concept theory, metaliteracy, and assessment of student learning. Likewise, I would prefer not address the structure of the Framework, parsing the difference between “knowledge practices” and “dispositions.” I will not argue why the wording of a certain frame should be changed to have that “as” become an “is.” I do not want to get into whether or not teaching i","cbCainmeEe7NQULR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainmeEe7NQULR","pdf",363392,"English","# Thoughts on the Framework\n## This is really happening\n## A lot has happened\n## Context and criticality","[{\"question\":\"What is the main argument of “Thoughts on the Framework”?\",\"answer\":\"The essay argues that the ACRL Framework’s overall theme is a call for librarians and educators to recognize the importance of context when discussing information literacy.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the essay connect information literacy to higher education teaching?\",\"answer\":\"It states that instruction and assignments can no longer separate “school” from “real life,” and must address political, cultural, and socioeconomic dimensions along with privilege and oppression.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the author step back from other Framework debates in this essay?\",\"answer\":\"The author limits the discussion to the Framework as a pedagogical document, explicitly setting aside debates about threshold concept theory, metaliteracy, assessment, and detailed structural distinctions.\"}]","Volume 9 - Issue 2 - Thoughts on the Framework - Criticality and Context in ACRL’s Framework for Information Literacy | PDF",1792087598,18]
