Companion Document to the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education: Women’s and Gender Studies

Abstract

In 2015, the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) completed the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. Recognizing that diverse academic disciplines engage with information differently, the ACRL Women and Gender Studies Instruction Committee used the feminist lens of intersectionality to critically examine and adapt each of the original information literacy Frames to better address the needs and concerns of women’s and gender studies (WGS).
