Community College Librarians and the ACRL "Framework": Findings from a National Study
Wengler, Susan; Wolff-Eisenberg, Christine
College & Research Libraries, v81 n1 p66-95 Jan 2020
This study explored community college librarians' engagement with the "Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education." A national online survey with 1,201 community college librarian respondents reveals limited familiarity with and integration of the "Framework" into community college instruction to date. Findings indicate an openness to future adoption, as well as substantial interest in targeted professional development and a version of the "Framework" adapted for community college campuses. These results contribute benchmark instructional data on an understudied section of academic librarianship and add to the growing body of research on how librarians have updated teaching practices in response to the "Framework."
