Information Literacy and Instruction

Bentley Librarians keep up to date on the latest Information Literacy practices in the field and incorporate best practices into our programs and instruction. 

The following guiding documents from recognized professional and accrediting bodies include various standards, guidelines, and competencies that we take into consideration when planning:

• New England Commission for Higher Education (NECHE)  -- formerly NEASC
• Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education (Association of College & Research Libraries)
• Business Research Competencies (Reference and User Services Association) -- part of the American Library Association
• Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education (Association of College & Research Libraries)
  • The ACRL Standards and the associated performance indicators have been retired but are still useful as a reference tool.
