Insiders\u27 Perspectives on the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy

This interview with the two U.S. librarians who co-chaired the Task Force that led to the creation of the Association of College & Research Libraries\u27 Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education (ACRL 2016) revisits the process of its creation as well as the reception this document has received five years after its inception.
