This study investigates designs and frameworks utilised for promoting information literacy (IL) in libraries. Scopus database was used to retrieve the research articles published during 2014 to 2023. A total of fifteen core research articles were identified and considered for analysis. This study employed content analysis using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. This study identified challenges such as resistance to change, resource constraints, and technological issues while implementing IL designs/frameworks. The outcomes of this study provide valuable insights for library professionals, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to enhance IL initiatives.
