Abstract: In fall 2025, Minnesota librarians partnered with Wilder Research to conduct interviews with 21 faculty teaching first-year students across colleges and universities statewide. Faculty assessed the importance of information and technology literacy and student readiness across four domains aligned with ITEM standards: information literacy, digital citizenship, technology and innovation, and literacy engagement. Findings reveal significant preparedness gaps with implications for student learning and potentially for Minnesota's workforce and civic health.
