informationskompetenz
 

The requirements for information literacy are defined in the standards that have originated from the various models for information literacy. The skills set in the standards are those which require students to deal with information in order to achieve their study objectives. In contrast to the process-based models, standards are formulated on a more abstract level. Standards serve as a guide for the creation of learning opportunities, which are not only focused purely on library training activities, but also on aspects of academic work.

Various countries have developed standards for official communication on information literacy.
