Description: "Information literacy is central to college-level library instruction in the United States today. In recent years, interests in assessing student outcomes in the area of information literacy have outpaced the availability of information about effective assessment tools. This CLIP Note includes the results of a survey of 293 college and university libraries that provides new information about the type and scope of library instruction, content areas covered, and current assessment of information literacy at the participating schools, as well as how ACRL standards are used in instruction programs and how library personnel are assessed. This volume also includes many excellent examples of information literacy assessment tools, such as bibliography analysis, portfolios, tests, one-minute papers, and other formative and summative tools. An exceptional resource for librarians interested in learning from other librarians how to improve assessment at their institutions. Selected Bibliography."--Jacket.
