In 2000, ACRL published the Information Literacy Standards, clarifying and describing specific learning objectives for higher education students. The document recognized the role of librarians who had long been informally developing these practices. But the Standards have evolved and adapted. In 2016, the ACRL adopted the new Framework, which sustains a metamorphosis. Information literacy remains a pattern of integrated competencies that encompass the reflexive discovery of information, the understanding of how information is produced and valued, and the use of information in the ethical and legal creation of new knowledge. Aim of the study: Based on a literature review,strategies, how to select and evaluate retrieved information, how to use the information in an ethical and legal way) -Information literacy competency standards for higher education. These Standards have established learning objectives to actively implement information literacy (IL) in the academic community. They also recognized the role of information professionals who had long been informally developing these practices. Over the years, many disciplines have been inspired by the Standards to formulate their specific objectives in the teaching-learning process, namely in nursing, psychology and health sciences. But the Standards had to evolve and adapt. As the disciplines regularly evaluated and accredited their practices and curricula, the practice of IL also had to be reviewed and re-evaluated in terms of its relevance and application. In January 2016, after two years of elaboration and incorporation of extensive comments from information professionals, ACRL adopted the Framework for information literacy for higher education [2]. encompassing the reflective discovery of information, the understanding of how information is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new knowledge and participating ethically in communities of learning" [2, p.2].This new document also opens the way for information professionals, teachers and other institutional partners; to reformulate contents, training courses, curricula and credits to be awarded [3]; to link IL to successful student initiatives [4]; to collaborate in the pedagogical research and to involve the students themselves; and to develop and broaden the discussion about the teaching-learning process.
