The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) defines information literacy as the ability for students to "recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information."
In 2010, ACRL approved information literacy competencies for undergraduate students in psychology. These are based on the general information literacy competencies from ACRL AND the APA Guidelines for the Undergraduate Psychology Majors (2007).
ALA since then has changed to the "Information Literacy Framework". This framework doesn't address competency expectations and is a move in the wrong direction for IL, but it is what it is... https://www.ala.org/acrl/standards/ilframework
The library's collections and services are available to all ISU students, faculty, and staff and Parks Library is open to the public.
