Abstract

This paper is an attempt to suggest a critical framework for addiction information literacy. Since the ACRL information literacy standards were updated in 2015, our field is in need of guidelines about how to translate its general principles to meet the special needs of our diverse audiences. The authors wish to identify the unique application of the ACRL standards to the field of addiction science. An applied and transdisciplinary science requires a particular emphasis on evaluating sources and a special regard for the sensitive nature of the information sought. The authors' exploratory information literacy sessions have been presented in various settings with researchers ranging from post-docs to distinguished professors; counselors at the bachelors, masters, and continuing education levels; undergraduate and graduate students; and the general public. This presentation draws upon these sessions and calls for the collective effort of substance abuse librarians to provide both a general overview and specific customized training programs for our distinctive field.
