Students often feel like outsiders in their courses. Their professors speak a different "language" and have different values. If scholarship is a "Conversation," students need to grasp what forces and cultures drive scholars within a discipline to converse the way they do.

If students can learn to "read" disciplines effectively, they will be better able to grasp the nature of conversations as they do their research.

Information Literacy Frame(s) Addressed: Framework as a Whole
This is a guest post at ACRLog.org, published on January 27, 2015, in which I reflect on the relationship between the Framework and assessment of student learning in and through our information literacy programs, as well as how this relates to the eventual rescission of the Information Literacy Competency Standards (formally rescinded a year and a half later on June 25, 2016).
