ACRL Framework
You can download the Association of College & Research Libraries' book, "Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education," in multiple languages at the ACRL website:
This ACRL Framework lists six frames:
(1) Authority is Constructed and Contextual,
(2) Information Creation as a Process,
(3) Information has Value,
(4) Research as Inquiry,
(5) Scholarship as Conversation,
(6) Searching as Strategic Exploration.
These frames are an important base for research and writing, which makes them especially important to English courses.
For additional information about this framework you can go to the ACRL’s guide:
