| Abstract | Twenty-five years ago, the phrase “information literacy” was relatively unknown; now it the major component in many academic librarian position descriptions. Coincidentally, or perhaps serendipitously, while ACRL was preparing their position on information literacy, another group of educators was incorporating the same concepts into their professional practice competencies. At the annual meeting of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) in July 1986, the report of the Task Force for Development of Competency Statements for Pharmacy Practice was first presented to the membership for discussion and was subsequently accepted at the section meeting later that year during the American Society of Hospital Pharmacists (ASHP) midyear clinical meeting. The competencies were developed for the entry level degree in pharmacy – at that time, either a baccalaureate or Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree. The competencies were divided into four sections: general management and administration of pharmacy; activities related to processing the prescription; patient care functions; and, education of healthcare professionals. The responsibilities listed in the final section described how the pharmacist was responsible for organizing, maintaining, and providing drug information to other healthcare professionals with the final responsibility specifying the selection, evaluation and assessment of drug information resources for application to practice.
