To determine if competency theory applies to students who have nonprofi- cient information literacy skills, Gross and Latham replicated the Kruger and Dunning studies, focusing on the infor- mation literacy skills of incoming college freshmen.7 In this study, participants were asked to predict their performance on an information literacy skills test and to predict how their performance would compare to the scores of other partici- pants in the study both before and after taking an information literacy skills test.	cache/crl-16020.pdf	txt/crl-16020.txt
