ACRL Framework for Information Literacy

The ACRL Framework for Information Literacy is a guide developed by the Association of College and Research Libraries to help people understand how to find, evaluate, and use information effectively. It outlines six key concepts, such as recognizing the need for information, understanding how information is created and shared, and being able to ethically use information. This framework encourages critical thinking and helps individuals become more skilled in navigating the vast amounts of information available, which is essential for academic success and informed decision-making in everyday life.
