English abstract

The ACRL Information Literacy Competency Standards remain the prevailing means of understanding information literacy, particularly within higher education. There is undoubtedly value in a clearly articulated and institutionalized conceptualization of information literacy, but the Standards are inadequate, incomplete, and inculcate complacency. The careful use of user-generated content in information literacy instruction offers a means of addressing gaps as well as incorporating antiracist, feminist, and queer perspectives.
