Hi Debra, I'm not sure if you've seen the "ARLIS/NA Information Competencies for Students in Design Disciplines" yet or not: https://www.arlisna.org/publications/arlis-na-research-reports/148-information-competencies-for-students-in-design-disciplines I'd be interested in any useful responses you receive. Good luck!
