Abstract
Academic librarians provide information literacy instruction and research services to graduate
student. To develop evidence-based library instruction and research services for incoming graduate
students, the authors interviewed 15 incoming graduate students in the social sciences and
analyzed the interviews using the Association of College & Research Libraries Information Literacy
Competency Standards for Higher Education (ACRL Standards). This article discusses the findings,
including the authors’ assumptions of student information illiteracy, trends noted during the
interview analysis, and implications for delivering information literacy training to graduate students
in a group discussion modality.
