March 2015 113 C&RL News

Welcome to the March 2015 issue of C&RL News. 
There has been much discussion over the past 
several months about the ACRL Framework for 
Information Literacy for Higher Education. The 
Board of Directors decided to “fi le” the new 
Framework at the 2015 ALA Midwinter Meeting. 
More information, along with other Midwinter 
Board actions, is available on page 128.

At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 
librarians are collaborating on a new fl ex edu-
cation program to provide information literacy 
instruction. Kristin M. Woodward discusses the 
program in her article “Information literacy in 
competency-based education.”

The opening of New York University’s new 
program in Shanghai, China, offered a unique  op-
portunity to work with students from a variety of

experience at New York University-Shanghai.”

tory scholarly publishers.
Archives and special collections continue to 

play a major role in academic and research librar-

ships” between archives, archivists, and alumni; 
and Matt Gorzalski discusses “Archives and 
non-Humanities students” in this month’s issue.

Also this month we continue our look at the 
upcoming ALA/ACRL elections with responses

president-elect to questions from the ACRL
