The Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) provides clear student learning outcomes and standards for students related to information literacy. ACRL also provides and details the benchmarks of an information literacy program at a higher education institution. Learn more about the ACRL framework and standards for information literacy by clicking on the links below.
The Evans Library uses this framework as well as the standards and benchmarks to design specific learning outcomes for information literacy sessions, to assess the level of attainment of those learning outcomes and as a means of creating an information literacy program that works across FM's curriculum.
At FM information literate students will be able to 
1. Determine the need for information
(Authority is Constructed and Textual, Research as Inquiry &
Searching as Strategic Exploration)
2. Access sources of information
(Research as Inquiry & Searching as Strategic Exploration)
3. Evaluate information
(Authority is Constructed and Textual, Information Creation as a Process,
Information Has Value, Scholarship as a Conversation & Searching as Strategic Exploration)
4. Use appropriate information
(Research as Inquiry & Searching as Strategic Exploration)
5. Maintain legal and ethical standards when using information
