Information Competency Standards for Students
Topsy Smalley, a librarian at Cabrillo College in California, has collected an interesting set of links on information competency for students. Targeted at California college-level information, the site also includes links to the major information literacy links from associations like the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL); ongoing projects in information competency; and links to college-specific information literacy initiatives. Seems like digital literacy has become essential. The question is, what are we doing in our work to keep up-to-date, and to help our students demonstrate these core skills in action?
