Key Statements & Standards
http://www.anziil.org/resources/Info%20lit%202nd%20edition.pdf. This second edition of the 2001 Information Literacy Standards reflects the ways academics and librarians have used the first edition. It incorporates changes developed at a workshop in Sydney in January 2003, and includes a revised set of IL Standards as well as discussion papers on curriculum alignment, assessment and professional development, exemplars of implementation and a chronology of information literacy establishment, development and implementation in Australia. The concepts and text have been adapted and updated to incorporate recent local and international understandings of information literacy education. As with the 1st edition, the new Australian and New Zealand Information Literacy Framework incorporates standards and learning outcomes that consist of the characteristics, attributes, processes, knowledge, skills, attitudes, beliefs and aspirations associated with the information literate person. The standards are grounded in generic skills, information skills and values and beliefs. The ANZ Information Literacy Framework may be freely used, translated, and adapted for noncommercial purposes, subject to acknowledgment of its US and Australasian provenance. A copy of any such usage is requested to be sent to University of South Australia. Currently, the Standards have been translated into Spanish, Bahasa Indonesian, Japanese and are also being used in Ireland. The Framework may be freely accessed online or packs of bound print copies can be ordered from the University of South Australia.
The first edition Australian information literacy standards derives from the US Information literacy standards for higher education approved by the Association of College and Research Libraries in January 2000. The US standards were reviewed at a national workshop initiated and conducted 22-23 September 2000 by the University of South Australia for the Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL). In October 2000, the Council of Australian University Librarians approved the revision of the US standards as Information literacy standards. The intended primary application is to higher education, but they may be applied to other educational sectors.
http://www.caul.edu.au/info-literacy/publications.html#guidelines. A subgroup of the CAUL Information Literacy Group produced a guiding document to document the characteristics of information literacy that illustrate best practice in learning and teaching in academic institutions. The guidelines provide characteristics, principles and ideas that will support the development of excellence in information literacy within an institution, and across Australia. This document was adapted to the Australian environment (with permission) from a simliar document in the US produced by the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL). The guidelines are available as a brochure in both 2-fold and 3-fold format. It is only available online – organisations are welcome to download their preferred format and print off the number of required copies.
ALIA policies and guidelines reflect the general position of the Association on issues that have an impact on the library and information sector, and provide direction and advice to those who choose to consider the policies and guidelines for their own use. ALIA produced the following national policy statement in 2001 (amended 2003).
ALIA objects addressed To promote the free flow of information and ideas in the interest of all Australians and a thriving culture, economy and democracy. Principle A thriving national and global culture, economy and democracy will best be advanced by people who recognise their need for information, and can identify, locate, access, evaluate and apply that information.
