Description

Introduction Twenty years ago the American Library Association (ALA) published the Presidential Committee on Information Literacy: Final Report (1989). This report (hereafter referred to simply as the Final Report) provided a widely accepted definition of information literacy (IL) as the ability to recognize when information is needed and "locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information" (p.1). It also articulated a rationale for its importance to contemporary American society. The American Association of School Librarians (AASL) and the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL), extended the ALA's definition of IL through Information Literacy Standards for Student Learning: Standards and Indicators (1998) and Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education (2000) respectively. Although IL has been developed in varying ways since its inception, these early documents remain important because they are the Association's formal conceptualizations of IL. Furthermore, they are likely to be used to communicate a singular, unified vision of IL to external stakeholders and therefore continue to have some significance for librarians and their clients.
