Research shows that there is a positive correlation between these types of information literacy instruction and student success (ACRL,2017).
DBS Library has adapted a new Information Literacy Model to inform its information literacy practice. This model is called the Framework for Information in Higher Education developed by the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL). This model reflects the needs of students in a rapidly changing information landscape where students are both creators and consumers of information. This model emphasizes the key importance of behaviors like self reflection and self direction learning in the learning environment.
