Abstract
Information Literacy (IL) is considered the core of student success as it equips them with lifelong skills. This study aimed to assess the IL skills of undergraduate students at the University of Zambia (UNZA) by applying the American College of Research Libraries Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education (the Framework). Focus groups were used to collect qualitative data from 22 participants. Questions were formulated to guide the discussion. Audio recordings of the discussions were transcribed and analyzed using Nvivo 12 software. Results indicated that participants presented some but not all knowledge practices and dispositions in each of the six concepts of the Framework. This study offers valuable insights for African libraries contemplating aligning their IL instruction with the Framework.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
