Summary .The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) has defined information literacy in general, and this has been further refined to encompass a set of standards for science and engineering disciplines. These standards are comparable to those demanded by ABET, Inc. (formerly the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology). When practitioners of these standards are able to successfully impart standard and skills to students, then these students will find an added value in their careers, especially as they navigate the information overload of the digital age. Instructors are advised to keep up with the review literature maintained by ACRL.
. Publisher Summary .This chapter discusses the way in which information literacy (IL) influences the lifelong learning of engineers. The relationship between IL and lifelong learning is associated with improvements and cohesion in academics. Librarians and instructors seem to have documented a common and supporting purpose when it comes to educating science and technology students. A purposefully inculcated foundation of IL is the basis for any set of lifelong-learning skills. It is impossible to have the ultimate professional skill set without instruction and practice in research, discernment, and the articulation of ideas. These types of critical-thinking skills can be taught and learned through guidance and practice in the classroom. Insights and direction from practiced academic professionals make developing IL skills a much easier process than if one had to develop these skills alone and at point-of-need on the job.
