Hi all,
I wanted to pass this along. There's time to sign up for the online
hearing on Friday the 11, 10am Central and time to submit comments as well.
Has anyone contributed comments to the framework or have you had
discussions at your institutions about it?
Take care,
Emilee

Members of the ACRL Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher
Education Task Force <http://acrl.ala.org/ilstandards/> are grateful for
all the robust input gathered through online feedback forms, member
forums and hearings <http://acrl.ala.org/ilstandards/?page_id=95>
(face-to-face and online), member emails, conversations in social media,
as well as comments from the ACRL Board of Directors. The Task Force
takes the feedback provided by members seriously, and has used this
feedback to guide and improve their process. They have been listening to
all of your comments and incorporating much of the feedback into the
latest, revised draft <http://acrl.ala.org/ilstandards/?page_id=133>. As
they continue to carefully consider all the new input they receive, task
force members recognize some questions/concerns are recurring and have
addressed those in a new Frequently Asked Question
<http://acrl.ala.org/ilstandards/?page_id=201> section of their website.
They are eager to hear more from you about their latest, revised draft
<http://acrl.ala.org/ilstandards/?page_id=133>. Please be sure to please
share your thoughts if you haven't already done so. Sign up
<http://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080c44abac2f4-online> to participate in
one of the online hearings being held Monday, July 7, at 1pm Central and
Friday, July 11, at 10am Central. Provide your written feedback*by
Tuesday, July 15, 2014, 5pm Central*, via the online form
<https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WQB3NZ3>. To help guide your thinking,
the task force asks that you consider these questions:
1. How satisfied are you with the overall /Framework/?
2. If you have followed the development of the /Framework/ through the
previous draft, please tell us what changes you find most helpful.
3. Does the "Suggestions on How to Use the Information Literacy
/Framework/" section, in conjunction with the Frames, help you to
engage other campus stakeholders in conversation?
4. How might the /Framework/ affect the way you work with students?
5. What one thing do you most want the Task Force members to know about
the draft /Framework/?
While the task force asks that you send reactions via the online form
<https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WQB3NZ3> (so it is easier to compile
comments and ensure no emails have gone astray) the co-chairs are also
happy to connect with you on a personal level. You should feel free to
be in touch with them to discuss your reactions to the draft and can
reach them as follows: Craig Gibson, Head, Food, Agricultural, and
Environmental Sciences Library, Ohio State University Libraries,
[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>; and Trudi E. Jacobson,
Head, Information Literacy Department, University at Albany, SUNY,
University Libraries, [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
