This recent attention to the role of subject knowledge in information retrieval and literacy is also reflected in information literacy standards.In its standards, ACRL acknowledged the importance of disciplinary knowledge. The standards stated that “information literate individuals should understand that knowledge can be organized into disciplines that influence the way information is accessed,” and they should “implement the search using investigative protocol appropriate to the discipline” (Association of College and Research Libraries, 2007). Nevertheless, these standards are meant as a general guideline for all higher education, with no distinction between fields or levels of study.
