Standard One
ACRL Standards & Performance
Indicators / Learning Outcomes Addressed
STANDARD ONE = KNOW
Standard One is the foundation
on which the other
Standards will build.
STANDARD ONE = KNOW
The student must be able to identify these questions:
What is it you want to know?
What kind of information do you need?
How much information do you need?
STANDARD ONE = KNOW
This standard is divided into
4 performance indicators.
The basic concepts of these performance
indicators are:
Define and Articulate
STANDARD ONE = KNOW
1. The information literate student
defines and articulates the need for
information.
STANDARD ONE = KNOW
Use a variety of sources to explore the structure and
context of a topic on specific disciplines.
Narrow a broad topic and broaden a narrow topic by
modifying the scope or direction of the question.
Explore subject-specific terminology related to an
information need.
STANDARD ONE = KNOW
2. The information literate student
identifies a variety of types and
formats of potential sources for
information.
STANDARD ONE = KNOW
Develop awareness of the scholarly information
specific to a discipline through personal
contacts, listservs, associations, and agencies.
Combine primary and secondary sources
Utilize raw data from original research and
surveys.
STANDARD ONE = KNOW
3. The information literate student
considers the costs and benefits of
acquiring the needed information.
STANDARD ONE = KNOW
Demonstrate a general knowledge to
broaden the information seeking
process beyond the local resources in
the library.
STANDARD ONE = KNOW
4. The information literate student
reevaluates the nature and extent of
the information need.
STANDARD ONE = KNOW
Revise the scope of the topic based on
the amount of information found.
STANDARD ONE = KNOW
The 4 Performance Indicator Outcomes
ACRL Outcome 1.D
STANDARD ONE = KNOW
Outcome Example:
Your students are having trouble defining
their research topic.
ACRL Outcome 1.D
STANDARD ONE = KNOW
Outcome 1.D asks the student to:
Define or modify the information need
to achieve a manageable focus.
STANDARD ONE = KNOW
Outcome 1.D asks the student to:
Identify an initial question that might
be too broad or narrow, as well as one
that is probably manageable.
STANDARD ONE = KNOW
Outcome 1.D asks the student to:
Explain his/her reasoning regarding the
manageability of a topic with reference
to available information sources.
STANDARD ONE = KNOW
Outcome 1.D asks the student to:
Narrow a broad topic and broaden a
narrow topic by modifying the scope or
direction of the question.
STANDARD ONE = KNOW
Outcome 1.D asks the student to:
Demonstrate an understanding of how the
desired end product (i.e., the required depth
of investigation and analysis) will play a role
in determining the need for information.
STANDARD ONE = KNOW
Outcome 1.D asks the student to:
Use background information sources
effectively to gain an initial
understanding of the topic.
STANDARD ONE = KNOW
Outcome 1.D asks the student to:
Consult with the course instructor and
librarians to develop a manageable
focus for the topic.
