ACRL Information Literacy Standard and the World War II Poster Project

Abby Clobridge — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 20:49:58 +0000

When planning the World War II Poster Project, we mapped out the unit to two sets of information literacy standards: The Association for College & Research Libraries (ACRL) Information Literacy Competency Standards and the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) – Developing Research & Communication Skills: Guidelines for Information Literacy in the Curriculum. (Click here for a link to the full MSCHE document as a PDF.)

Our documents, which map activities and instruction from the unit to the ACRL standard, is available here:

Welcome to Paper and Pixels

Welcome to Paper and Pixels, the web site and blog dedicated to information and news about the World War II Poster Project and other projects following the Paper and Pixels model of instruction.

The World War II Poster Project was originally designed by David Del Testa and Abby Clobridge for an entry-level undergraduate history course, HIST100: Thinking about History. The project was developed to give students a hands-on opportunity to work with archival objects; digital technologies; and several members of library, archives, and technology staff within their professional context.

A fuller explanation of the project is available here.
