Analyzing Information Sources through the Lens of the ACRL "Framework": A Case Study of "Wikipedia"
Jacobson, Trudi E.
Communications in Information Literacy, v14 n2 Article 10 p362-377 2020
Might the ACRL "Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education" be used to analyze information resources? Would a "Framework"-focused analysis of one commonly used resource, "Wikipedia," yield valuable insights for the teaching and learning of key information literacy concepts? Each of the six frames is explored in the light of "Wikipedia," and metaliteracy, a founding principle of the "Framework," is introduced when it provides additional scaffolding in connection with the goals of a particular frame as a way to enhance student learning opportunities. There are a number of components in "Wikipedia" that align with the "Framework," many of which are associated with its structure and community of editors. The idea of connecting information sources with the "Framework" is being offered as a conversation starter and as a potential mechanism for thinking of the "Framework" more broadly.
