NISO Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education

The NISO Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education is a set of guiding principles designed to help college students develop the skills needed to find, evaluate, and effectively use information. It emphasizes a flexible, conceptual approach rather than a checklist of skills, focusing on core ideas like understanding information needs, recognizing how information is created, and constructing new knowledge. The framework aims to prepare students to responsibly navigate complex information landscapes, fostering critical thinking and lifelong learning in an increasingly digital world.
