The ACRL standards reflect a skills-based approach to achieving and recognizing information literacy. Assessable skills and identifiable behaviors are used to categorize information literate individuals. The ANZIIL framework has been influenced by the work of Christine Bruce, which contextualizes information literacy within individuals' experiences of information seeking and use.
