Information Literacy in the Disciplines

Introduction

This page contains links and citations to information literacy standards and curricula developed by accrediting agencies, professional associations, and institutions of higher education. The discipline titles below are based on the National Center for Education Statistic's The Classification of Instructional Programs: 2000 Edition. Each discipline is separated into two sections: 1) Standards or Guidelines from Accrediting Agencies & Professional Associations and 2) Curricula, Articles, and Presentations.

The resources listed were identified by contacting accrediting agencies, conducting literature reviews, and searching the web. Suggestions for additional materials that meet the criteria for inclusion may be submitted for consideration to the Chair of the IS Information Literacy in the Disciplines Committee at any time. The web site and criteria will be revised and updated by the Information Literacy in the Disciplines Committee annually before the ALA Annual Conference.
