Library Instruction at Franklin Pierce

This document provides an overview of the information literacy learning outcomes that we hope students achieve throughout their four years at Franklin Pierce. We have broken down the skill sets into three categories: beginning, intermediate, and advanced, and have identified the grade levels at which students should have achieved each skill set.

The Association of College and Research Libraries has created a Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education consisting of six threshold concepts. This framework will help guide information literacy instruction and goals at Franklin Pierce. The Threshold Concepts are as follows:

• Authority is Constructed and Contextual
• Information Creation as a Process
• Information Has Value
• Research as Inquiry
• Scholarship as Conversation
• Searching as Strategic Exploration
