To CTCNet members and Digital Divide list:
The information below came from a UNC-Chapel Hill list I'm on. I don't remember hearing of these standards before. While these standards are for higher education, I think the concepts are useful to those of us on these lists.
The file is a .pdf of about 20 pages and comes up slowly for me (and I have a fast connection).
Ah, there's a HTML version -- much faster. See http://www.ala.org/ala/acrl/acrlstandards/informationliteracycompetency.htm
and search for Standard Five .

Today's general topic for discussion will be a chapter from the Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education from the American Library Association (ALA), approved by the Board of Directors of the Association of College and Research Libraries, and endorsed by the American Association for Higher Education and the Council of Independent Colleges. We'll talk specifically about Standard 5: The information literate student understands many of the economic, legal, and social issues surrounding the use of information and accesses and uses information ethically and legally.
You can view the standards at http://www.ala.org/ala/acrl/acrlstandards/standards.pdf
Standard 5 begins on page 16 of the 20 page document.
