Library Instruction: Assessment [ L.I. main page ]One of the most important aspects of library instruction is assessment of the program and its goals. Assessment is carried out through a variety of formal and informal methods. Pre- and post-testing is conducted within the University 110 or English 101 program . The results are used to indicate information literacy skill areas where first year students are making or failing to make progress. The results are used to revise instuctional sessions and teaching materials. Additionally, the library will participate, when possible, in national information literacy assessments such as the Project SAILS test. Results will be used to offer a peer comparison to other institutions. The library is committed to providing a means for faculty to share feedback with individual librarians regarding their instruction session. An online form is available for faculty use. Feedback will be used by the individual instructors to improve their current teaching practices. Questions regarding the information literacy program are included in student and faculty surveys. The surveys provide a measure of perceived satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the information literacy program. The library actively tracks instruction statistics. By tracking details such as discipline and course level, the library is able to work with faculty to design sessions that expose students to information skills at the appropriate level and intensity.
