National trends in adoption of ACRL information literacy guidelines and impact on business instruction practices: 2003–2015

Abstract

This study compares business librarians' information literacy practices and perceptions in response to the publication of the Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education and Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. Business librarians from AACSB-accredited institutions were surveyed in 2003 following the publication of the Standards and in 2015 following the publication of the Framework. This article discusses changes in business information literacy practice, including the use of professional guidelines, collaboration, and assessment activities over 12 years.
