This applied research project was carried out as part of NorQuest College Library's strategic planning for information literacy instruction. The Library uses the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education. By interviewing 14 Social Work diploma students about their perceptions of information literacy and how they find, evaluate, and use information, the Library hoped to determine if these ACRL standards are the best match for students in a unique multicultural environment.
