Information literacy is about lifelong learning, yet much information literacy instruction focuses on specific search strategies and advice relevant only within the context of subscription databases. During their time in university or college, students generally have the most information privilege they will ever have in their lives. In a librarian/taught undergraduate course, students were challenged to complete an annotated bibliography using only sources they would be able to access after graduation. Participants will learn about the broader student learning outcomes and where they align with the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education from the results of this original research project.
