Information Literacy Sandbox

The Information Literacy Sandbox is "a place to discover ways to use the Framework in instructional settings, as well as share your own activities and teaching resources related to the Framework."

AAC & U VALUE Rubric for Information Literacy

"The VALUE rubrics were developed by teams of faculty experts representing colleges and universities across the United States through a process that examined many existing campus rubrics and related documents for each learning outcome and incorporated additional feedback from faculty."
