<![CDATA[Kiais are key figures in religious education and the preservation of religious values. As human beings, they naturally have the same information needs as everyone else. This study aims to examine the information literacy skills of kiais in Sindangkerta Subdistrict, West Bandung Regency, based on standards established by the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL). This is a descriptive quantitative study. This study focuses on data collection to obtain a comprehensive description of a specific situation or phenomenon without testing cause-and-effect relationships. The questionnaire used in this study was designed based on the standards and indicators of the ACRL. However, given that the respondents in this study have diverse educational backgrounds, various items in the questionnaire and the information literacy standards have been adapted accordingly. The number of respondents involved in this study was 24 individuals from various Islamic boarding schools and madrasahs in the Sindangkerta subdistrict. The collected data will then be compiled and analysed. Data with the highest frequency or the largest number of responses will illustrate the dominant condition of a particular indicator. The results of the study indicate that the kiai demonstrate a fairly good level of competence across all five standards. However, one key aspect that needs improvement is their ability to use and communicate information in written form. The kiai have not yet developed a consistent habit of expressing their ideas and thoughts through writing.]]>
