Abstract:
Beginning in 2006, the Communication Studies Committee (Association of College &
Research Libraries, Education & Behavioral Sciences Section) collaborated with a
variety of organizations to develop information literacy competency standards for
journalism undergraduate students, graduate students, and professionals. Committee
members conducted a literature review, consulted with professional journalism
organizations from 2007-2009, met with communication and journalism faculty in 2007,
presented a draft at the 2007 National Communication Association conference,
participated in ACRL discussions related to information literacy competency standards
in the disciplines, and met with an ACRL Information Literacy consultant in 2008.
