Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education 美国图书馆协会（The Association of College and Research Libraries） 美国大学和研究型图书馆协会（A division of the American Library Association） 翻译：白健 最近《关于事实检索的讨论》让我们思考什么才是检索的问题。除了文献检索，是不是还忽略了某些东西？检索知识交流版存在的意义与宗旨又是什么？获得信息能力的培养是否比信息（文献）本身更加重要？ 重读《美国高等教育信息素养能力标准》一文，开宗明义，信息素养是指个人“能认识到何时需要信息，和有效地搜索、评估和使用所需信息的能力。”令人豁然开朗。该文内容翔实，表述清楚，思路缜密，是指导我们提高信息素质，提升检索能力不可多得的材料，特此全文转载，希望大家阅读过程中有所裨益。 目录（Index）： 信息素养定义（Information Literacy Defined） 信息素养和信息技术（Information Literacy and Information Technology） 信息素养和高等教育（Information Literacy and Higher Education） 信息素养和教学（Information Literacy and Pedagogy） 标准的使用（Use of the Standards） 信息素养及其评估（Information Literacy and Assessment） 标准，表现指标和成果（Standards, Performance Indicators and Outcomes） 附录一 节选信息素养动态（Appendix I: Selected Information Literacy Initiatives） 信息素养能力标准的撰写人（Developers of the Information Literacy Competency Standards） 一、信息素养定义（Information Literacy Defined） 信息素养是指个人“能认识到何时需要信息，和有效地搜索、评估和使用所需信息的能力。”信息素养在当代科技迅速发展和信息资源极其丰富的环境下变得越来越重要。 由于环境变得愈渐复杂，个人在学习、工作和生活中面临着多样化的，丰富的信息选择。信息可以来自图书馆、社区、行会、媒体和互联网。越来越多的未经过滤的信息的出现使得它们失去了真实性，正确性和可靠性。另外，个人很难理解和评估以图片、声像和文本的形式存在的信息。 信息的不可靠性和不断增加的数量对社会形成威胁。如果缺乏有效利用信息的能力，大量信息本身并不能使大众从中汲取知识。 Information literacy is a set of abilities requiring individuals to “recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information.” Information literacy also is increasingly important in the contemporary environment of rapid technological change and proliferating information resources. Because of the escalating complexity of this environment, individuals are faced with diverse, abundant information choices—in their academic studies, in the workplace, and in their personal lives. Information is available through libraries, community resources, special interest organizations, media, and the Internet—and increasingly, information comes to individuals in unfiltered formats, raising questions about its authenticity, validity, and reliability. In addition, information is available through multiple media, including graphical, aural, and textual, and these pose new challenges for individuals in evaluating and understanding it. The uncertain quality and expanding quantity of information pose large challenges for society. The sheer abundance of information will not in itself create a more informed citizenry without a complementary cluster of abilities necessary to use information effectively. 信息素养为一生学习奠定基础。它适用于各个学科、各种学习环境和教育水平。它可以让学习者掌握内容，扩展研究的范围，有更多主动性和自主性。有信息素养的人应能做到以下几点： ☆ 决定所需信息的范围。 ☆ 有效地获取所需信息。 ☆ 严格评价信息及其相关资源。 ☆ 把所选信息融合到个人的知识库中。 ☆ 有效运用信息达到特定目的。 ☆ 运用信息同时了解所涉及的经济,法律和社会范畴,合法和合理地获得和利用信息。 Information literacy forms the basis for lifelong learning. It is common to all disciplines, to all learning environments, and to all levels of education. It enables learners to master content and extend their investigations, become more self-directed, and assume greater control over their own learning. An information literate individual is able to: ☆ Determine the extent of information needed ☆ Access the needed information effectively and efficiently ☆ Evaluate information and its sources critically ☆ Incorporate selected information into one’s knowledge base ☆ Use information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose ☆ Understand the economic, legal, and social issues surrounding the use of information, and access and use information ethically and legally 二、信息素养和信息技术（Information Literacy and Information Technology） 信息素养与运用信息技术的技能有关, 但对个人、教育系统和社会而言, 却又有着更广的内涵。信息技术的技能使个人通过对电脑、软件、数据库和其他技术的运用,从而实现各种各样学术性的、工作上的或个人的目标。具备信息素养的个人必然需要发展一些信息技术的技能。 Information literacy is related to information technology skills, but has broader implications for the individual, the educational system, and for society. Information technology skills enable an individual to use comput-ers, software applications, databases, and other technologies to achieve a wide variety of academic, work-related, and personal goals. Information literate individuals necessarily develop some technology skills. 信息素养,虽然与信息技术的技能之间表现出显著的重复性,但却与之有区别而且是范围更为广泛的能力。信息技术的技能会越来越多的与信息素养交织并支持它。一份来自1999 年的国家研究院的报告提倡信息技术中的”熟练”的概念并描述了信息素养,计算机素养和更广泛的技术能力之间的几个显著区别。这份报告注解的计算机素养指的是死记硬背具体的硬件和软件的运用, 然而“熟练地运用技术”则强调理解技术的基本概念,以及把解决问题和判断思维运用到技术中。这份报告也讨论了信息技术的熟练性和中小学教育及高等教育所理解的信息素养的区别。概括这些区别就是信息素养强调内容、交流、分析、信息搜索和评估;而信息技术的”熟练性”则强调对技术的深入了解从而获得越来越多的应用技能。 Information literacy, while showing significant overlap with information technology skills, is a distinct and broader area of competence. Increasingly, information technology skills are interwoven with, and support, informa-tion literacy. A 1999 report from the National Research Council promotes the concept of “fluency” with information technology and delineates several distinctions useful in understanding relationships among information literacy, computer literacy, and broader technological competence. The report notes that “computer literacy” is concerned with rote learning of specific hardware and software applications, while “fluency with technol-ogy” focuses on understanding the underlying concepts of technology and applying problem-solving and critical thinking to using technology. The report also discusses differences between information technology fluency and information literacy as it is understood in K-12 and higher education. Among these are information literacy’s focus on content, communication, analysis, information searching, and evaluation; whereas information technology “fluency” focuses on a deep understanding of technology and graduated, increasingly skilled use of it. 能够“熟练”地运用信息技术比计算机素养指的死记硬背具体的硬件和软件的运用要求更多的智力，但仍是侧重于技术。从另一方面讲，信息素养是理解、搜索、评估和使用信息的智能框架。虽然这些活动可以部分通过熟练掌握信息技术，部分通过正确的研究方法完成，但最重要的是通过判断思维和推理完成。通过会利用技术而又独立于技术的能力，有信息素养的人启动、维持和延伸毕生的学习。 “Fluency” with information technology may require more intellectual abili-ties than the rote learning of software and hardware associated with “com-puter literacy”, but the focus is still on the technology itself. Information literacy, on the other hand, is an intellectual framework for understanding, finding, evaluating, and using information—activities which may be accom-plished in part by fluency with information technology, in part by sound investigative methods, but most important, through critical discernment and reasoning. Information literacy initiates, sustains, and extends lifelong learning through abilities which may use technologies but are ultimately independent of them. 延伸阅读： 三、信息素养和高等教育（Information Literacy and Higher Education） 培养毕生的学习习惯是高等教育的主要目标。通过培养个人推理和批判的能力，通过帮助他们建立学习方法的框架，高等院校为他们将来在事业上继续发展，做有知识的公民和社区成员奠定基础。信息素养是毕生学习的重要组成部分。信息素养能力把学习延伸到课堂之外，在个人开始实习，接受第一个职位，在生活中担负更多的责任的过程中得到练习。由于信息素养提高了学生评价，管理和使用信息的能力，几个地区性和学科性的认证组织把信息素养作为大学生教育的关键成果。 Developing lifelong learners is central to the mission of higher education institutions. By ensuring that individuals have the intellectual abilities of reasoning and critical thinking, and by helping them construct a framework for learning how to learn, colleges and universities provide the foundation for continued growth throughout their careers, as well as in their roles as informed citizens and members of communities. Information literacy is a key component of, and contributor to, lifelong learning. Information literacy competency extends learning beyond formal classroom settings and provides practice with self-directed investigations as individuals move into internships, first profes-sional positions, and increasing responsibilities in all arenas of life. Because information literacy augments students’ competency with evaluating, manag-ing, and using information, it is now considered by several regional and disci-pline-based accreditation associations as a key outcome for college students. 不在传统校园的学生可以通过网络和其他渠道使用信息资源。分布教学技术容许在不同地点和时间的学生和教师之间进行教学。通过远程教育增进信息素养的难处在于培养与在传统校园类似的对信息资源的学习经验。远程教育学生应具有和在校学生同样水平的信息素养。 For students not on traditional campuses, information resources are often available through networks and other channels, and distributed learning technologies permit teaching and learning to occur when the teacher and the student are not in the same place at the same time. The challenge for those promoting information literacy in distance education courses is to develop a comparable range of experiences in learning about information resources as are offered on traditional campuses. Information literacy competencies for distance learning students should be comparable to those for “on campus” students. 把信息素养融合到大学课程、学科与服务和管理中要求教员， 图书管理员和学校领导之间的协作。教员通过讲课和引导讨论创造学习环境。他们也会鼓励学生探索未知世界，指导学生满足信息需要，并且观察学生的进展。大学图书馆员协调智力资源的评估和挑选；整理和维护图书馆馆藏并提供多种信息搜索工具；教授学生和教员信息搜索的技巧。学校领导应为这种协作和所有启动信息素养课程的人员培训和发展创造条件，筹划和维持信息素养课程。 Incorporating information literacy across curricula, in all programs and services, and throughout the administrative life of the university, requires the collaborative efforts of faculty, librarians, and administrators. Through lectures and by leading discussions, faculty establish the context for learning. Faculty also inspire students to explore the unknown, offer guidance on how best to fulfill information needs, and monitor students’ progress. Academic librarians coordinate the evaluation and selection of intellectual resources for programs and services; organize, and maintain collections and many points of access to information; and provide instruction to students and faculty who seek information. Administrators create opportunities for collaboration and staff development among faculty, librarians, and other professionals who initiate information literacy programs, lead in planning and budgeting for those programs, and provide ongoing resources to sustain them. 四、信息素养和教学（Information Literacy and Pedagogy） 波伊尔委员会报告《重整本科生教育》建议了一些策略，可令学生积极“构思一个或一系列问题，积极地研究和有创造性地寻找答案，并具备阐述结果的交流能力。” 在此基础上构造的课程创造了一个以学生为中心的学习环境。在这个环境里，学生不断询问，培养解决问题的能力是重点，判断思维是重要组成部分。这样的学习环境要求学生有信息素养能力。 The Boyer Commission Report, Reinventing Undergraduate Education, recommends strategies that require the student to engage actively in “framing of a significant question or set of questions, the research or cre-ative exploration to find answers, and the communications skills to convey the results...” Courses structured in such a way create student-centered learning environments where inquiry is the norm, problem solving becomes the focus, and thinking critically is part of the process. Such learning environments require information literacy competencies. 有了信息素养学生就会有更多自主学习的机会，因为他们可以利用多样的信息资源来扩充他们的知识，提出好的问题，增强判断思维能以应付进一步的自主学习。认识到信息素养不是附加到课程之上的，而是融入课程的内容、结构和顺序是掌握信息素养能力的基本要求。课程的融合可以增加以学生为中心的教学方法（诸如基于解决问题的学习，基于证据的学习和质询式的学习）的影响。在教员和其他有关人员的指导下，运用基于解决问题的学习方法的学生可以比只通过讲课和课本知识更深层次的思考上课内容。要想完全掌握基于问题的学习方法，学生必须经常使用能够使他们得以熟练使用来自不同地点和格式的信息来源的思考技巧，从而增强他们对学习的责任感。 Gaining skills in information literacy multiplies the opportunities for students’ self-directed learning, as they become engaged in using a wide variety of information sources to expand their knowledge, ask informed questions, and sharpen their critical thinking for still further self-directed learning. Achieving competency in information literacy requires an understanding that this cluster of abilities is not extraneous to the curriculum but is woven into the curricu-lum’s content, structure, and sequence. This curricular integration also affords many possibilities for furthering the influence and impact of such student-cen-tered teaching methods as problem-based learning, evidence-based learning, and inquiry learning. Guided by faculty and others in problem-based approaches, students reason about course content at a deeper level than is possible through the exclusive use of lectures and textbooks. To take fullest advantage of prob-lem-based learning, students must often use thinking skills requiring them to become skilled users of information sources in many locations and formats, thereby increasing their responsibility for their own learning. 个人可以通过很多途径来获得他们要寻求的信息。 第一种途径是利用信息检索系统。这种检索系统可以在图书馆里找到，或是可以在任何地方通过电脑访问的数据库里找到。另一种途径是运用一种合适的研究方法来直接观察现象。例如，医生、考古学家和宇航员经常利用物理实验来检测某种现象的存在。除此之外，数学家、化学家和物理学家经常运用像统计软件或模拟器这样的技术来创造人为的环境用于观察和分析现象之间的作用。在学生的本科和研究生阶段，他们必须多次地查询，评估和管理从不同来源和运用不同学科性的研究方法所收集到的信息。 To obtain the information they seek for their investigations, individuals have many options. One is to utilize an information retrieval system, such as may be found in a library or in databases accessible by computer from any location. Another option is to select an appropriate investigative method for observing phenomena directly. For example, physicians, archae-ologists, and astronomers frequently depend upon physical examination to detect the presence of particular phenomena. In addition, mathematicians, chemists, and physicists often utilize technologies such as statistical soft-ware or simulators to create artificial conditions in which to observe and analyze the interaction of phenomena. As students progress through their undergraduate years and graduate programs, they need to have repeated opportunities for seeking, evaluating, and managing information gathered from multiple sources and discipline-specific research methods. 五、标准的使用（Use of the Standards） 《美国高等教育信息素养能力标准》为评估信息素养提供了一个框架。它延伸了美国学校图书管理员协会信息素养标准工作组的成果，为高等教育提供了与中小学一样能列出信息素养能力的机会，从而使得各个年级的学生有相应的标准。以下列出的能力标准是教员，图书管理员和其他有关人员确定可以证明学生具有信息素养的指标。学生也会发现能力标准很有用处，因为它为学生提供了一个指导他们决定怎样处理信息的框架。这会促使学生感到培养超认知的学习方法的需要，让他们认识到收集、分析和使用信息所需的明确的行动。所有的学生必须表现出这个标准中描述的能力，但每个人的能力会有高低快慢之分。 Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education provides a framework for assessing the information literate individual. It also extends the work of the American Association of School Librarians Task Force on Information Literacy Standards, thereby providing higher educa-tion an opportunity to articulate its information literacy competencies with those of K-12 so that a continuum of expectations develops for students at all levels. The competencies presented here outline the process by which faculty, librarians and others pinpoint specific indicators that identify a student as information literate. Students also will find the competencies useful, because they provide students with a framework for gaining control over how they interact with information in their environment. It will help to sensitize them to the need to develop a metacognitive approach to learning, making them conscious of the explicit actions required for gathering, analyzing, and using information. All students are expected to demonstrate all of the competencies described in this document, but not everyone will demonstrate them to the same level of proficiency or at the same speed. 另外，一些学科会在这个过程的某些环节强调对某些能力的掌握， 因此在任何衡量机制下一些能力会比别的能力占更多的比重。因为每个标准都要求学生总结经验教训，回到上一步，修改搜索信息的方法，然后重复同样的步骤，许多能力会被多次使用。 Furthermore, some disciplines may place greater emphasis on the mastery of competencies at certain points in the process, and therefore certain compe-tencies would receive greater weight than others in any rubric for measure-ment. Many of the competencies are likely to be performed recursively, in that the reflective and evaluative aspects included within each standard will require the student to return to an earlier point in the process, revise the information-seeking approach, and repeat the same steps. 为了完全实现这些标准，一个机构应首先根据它的宗旨和教学目标决定信息素养会怎样改进学习和提高机构的效果。对教师员工进行培训是促使他们接受这个概念的关键。 To implement the standards fully, an institution should first review its mission and educational goals to determine how information literacy would improve learning and enhance the institution’s effectiveness. To facilitate acceptance of the concept, faculty and staff development is also crucial. 六、信息素养及其评估（Information Literacy and Assessment） 以下的能力中包括五个标准和二十二个表现指标。这些标准侧重于各个水平高等教育学生的需要。这些标准列出一系列的成果来评估学生在培养信息素养上取得的进展。这些成果为教师和图书管理员根据各个机构不同情况制定衡量学生学习方法是提供了指导准则。除了衡量学生基本信息素养，教师和图书管理员应一起拟定适用于不同学科的评估方法和策略，因为在这些领域中信息素养在知识创造、学术活动和出版过程有明显的作用。 In the following competencies, there are five standards and twenty-two performance indicators. The standards focus upon the needs of students in higher education at all levels. The standards also list a range of outcomes for assessing student progress toward information literacy. These outcomes serve as guidelines for faculty, librarians, and others in developing local methods for measuring student learning in the context of an institution’s unique mission. In addition to assessing all students’ basic information literacy skills, faculty and librarians should also work together to develop assessment instruments and strategies in the context of particular disciplines, as information literacy manifests itself in the specific understanding of the knowledge creation, scholarly activity, and publication processes found in those disciplines. 在执行这些标准的过程中，这些机构应认识到不同水平的思考能力是与不同的学习成果相对应的。因此，不同的方法和策略在评估这些成果中起决定性作用。例如，布鲁姆的《教育目标分类学》中的“高级”和“低级”思考能力在这个标准的成果指标中充分体现出来。我们强烈认为对适合于每种成果相关联的思考能力的评估标准应成为一个机构实施计划不可缺少的一部分。 In implementing these standards, institutions need to recognize that different levels of thinking skills are associated with various learning outcomes—and therefore different instruments or methods are essential to assess those outcomes. For example, both “higher order” and “lower order” thinking skills, based on Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, are evident throughout the outcomes detailed in this document. It is strongly suggested that assessment methods appropriate to the thinking skills associ-ated with each outcome be identified as an integral part of the institution’s implementation plan. 例如，以下成果解释了“高级”和“低级”思考能力： “低级”思考能力： 成果 二.二.2. 找出与所需信息的关键词、同义词和相关词。 “高级”思考能力： 成果 三.三.2. 扩展初步分析，在更高抽象层次上建立新的假设。新的假设可能需要更多的信息。 For example, the following outcomes illustrate “higher order” and “lower order” thinking skills: “Lower Order” thinking skill: Outcome 2.2.a. Identifies keywords, synonyms, and related terms for the information needed. “Higher Order” thinking skill: Outcome 3.3.b. Extends initial synthesis, when possible, to a higher level of abstraction to construct new hypotheses that may required ad-ditional information. 教师、图书管理员和其他人会发现相互协作讨论评估标准对策划系统的，全面的信息素养教育方案是非常有用的练习。这个评估方案应推广到每个学生，找出需要改进的地方，巩固现有的学习成果。评估方案也应让机构所在的民众了解信息素养对培养高素质的学生和公民的贡献。 Faculty, librarians, and others will find that discussing assessment methods collaboratively is a very productive exercise in planning a systematic, comprehensive information literacy program. This assessment program should reach all students, pinpoint areas for further program development, and consolidate learning goals already achieved. It also should make explicit to the institution’s constituencies how information literacy contributes to producing educated students and citizens. 七、标准，表现指标和成果（Standards, Performance Indicators and Outcomes） 标准一：有信息素养的学生有能力决定所需信息的性质和范围。 Standard One: The information literate student determines the nature and extent of the information needed. 表现指标（Performance Indicators） 一 有信息素养的学生定义和描述信息需求。成果包括： 1． 通过与老师交流， 参与课堂讨论、学习小组、网上论坛来确定研究课题和所需信息。 2． 草拟一个主题， 根据信息需求列出相关问题。 3． 通过浏览广泛的信息来源来熟悉课题。 4． 限定或修改信息需求以抓住重点。 5． 确定可以描述信息需求的概念和术语。 6． 认识到现有信息可以结合原有的想法、试验和/或分析来产生新的信息。 1.
