- ACRL's Health Sciences Interest Group aimed to revise the 2013 Information Literacy Competency Standards for Nursing to align with the 2016 Framework for Information Literacy.
- The working group surveyed nursing faculty to explore their approaches to teaching information literacy (IL) principles, finding varied methods used but limited integration of the ACRL standards in course design.
- The results indicated that for nursing education, established nursing educational association standards were preferred, and faculty's views on the importance of IL skills increased with the education level being taught, informing the creation of a useful companion document for collaboration between librarians and nursing educators.
The Association for College and Research Libraries published the Information Literacy Competency Standards for Nursing (ILCSN) in January 2014, written by a task force of the Health Sciences Interest Group of the American Library Association. The ILCSN describes skills ranging from basic to advanced information research competencies for students enrolled in nursing programs at all levels and for professional nurses. This article guides administrators and faculty in use of the standards to design programs and coursework in information skills to support evidence-based practice.
