crl-16492	Raish, Victoria; Rimland, Emily	Employer Perceptions of Critical Information Literacy Skills and Digital Badges	2016	27	.pdf	application/pdf	11494	434	39	An online survey was developed and sent to employers to gauge perceptions of information literacy skills of college graduates and the use of the innovation of digital badges to represent competencies that students have accumulated. This lack of transfer connotes a need for translation of these skills from the academic setting to the workplace.1 Previous research on information literacy in the workplace shows that the skills valued by the American Library Association (ALA) are not exactly the same as the skills valued in the workplace.2 Being information literate is a critical factor to success in the information age, and it is necessary to include information literacy skills valued by employers into library instruction curricula for students.	cache/crl-16492.pdf	txt/crl-16492.txt
