NEASC Standards 4.6 and 7.5 both deal with information literacy:
4.6
"The institution ensures that students use information resources and information technology as an integral part of their education. The institution provides appropriate orientation and training for use of these resources, as well as instruction and support in information literacy and information technology appropriate to the degree level and field of study."
7.5
"Faculty, staff, and students are provided appropriate training and support to make effective use of library and information resources, and instructional and information technology."
The Association of College and Research Libraries' Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education have been endorsed by the American Association for Higher Education and the Council of Independent Colleges. They are recognized and used by libraries and educational institutions worldwide. They can be found, along with more detailed outcomes, at the ACRL's website. Librarians use these standards when planning library instruction sessions; you may consider building some into your course outcomes as well.
