Shared notes for this session:
https://goo.gl/EMvM3G The 2016 adoption of the “Framework for Information Literacy” by ACRL signaled an important shift from standards-based skills and specific resource types to that of practice-oriented threshold concepts situated in social context. In addition to providing a more holistic way of orienting students to research, the information literacy frames also have the potential to include librarians from all parts of the library ecosystem – beyond those who traditionally have come from instruction or public services roles. Viewing the information literacy frames as common threads has the potential to engage conversations at the intersections of various library roles, strengthening our shared values as a community of practice.
Music librarians have long recognized the discipline-specific components of information literacy, and that history provides a foundation to consider new opportunities to expand the frames beyond text-based ways of knowing. The MLA Instruction Subcommittee formed a Framework Working Group in 2017 to discuss ways to expand the understanding of music information literacy and to explore how MLA might respond to the ACRL Framework document. The working group plans to develop a stance on the Framework using survey data; a literature review; examples of other discipline-based responses to the Framework; and conversation about the distinctive social contexts of the discipline, including performance and composition.
