In Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, the ACRL (Association of College and Research Libraries) imagines information literacy to be comprised of six interconnected frameworks:
- Authority is Constructed & Contextual
- Information Creation as a Process
- Information Has Value
- Research as Inquiry

- Searching as Strategic Exploration
The ACRL imagines these conceptual frameworks, these mindsets, to be foundational to critical literacy as the postsecondary level in the U.S.
