Information Literacy and Assessment
An ACRL/TLT
Group Online Seminar
Wednesdays, May 6, 13, and 20 2009 at 1-2 pm EDT
Debra Gilchrist, Pierce College, and
Anne Zald, University of Nevada, Reno.
How can you assess Information Literacy? Should you assess
the process or what students find? How do we determine the
effectiveness of our information literacy programs? How do
we know as teaching librarians we are making the impact we
want in the classroom? Educators
often ponder these questions and others connected with IL
programs. Bring your questions and opinions to this seminar
for lively discussion in a search for answers.
Three
synchronous Webcasts will frame information literacy
programs and student learning assessment within the context
of
·AAHE
9 Principles of Good Practice for Assessing Student
Learning.
·ACRL's
Characteristics of Programs of Information Literacy That
Illustrate Best Practices
·Information
Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education.
Seminar
leaders will provide practical, specific examples for
conducting an assessment of information literacy programs.
We assume participants are actively involved in information
literacy programs and need to conduct assessments.
While
the Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher
Education and the Characteristics of Programs of Information
Literacy That Illustrate Best Practices have been introduced
in previous seminars in this series, our focus will be on
their uses in assessing information literacy programs. The
two documents are complimentary and their purposes are
different. The Webcasts will make these distinctions
explicit by showing how they are used in program assessment
and outcomes assessment.
Participants will also have access to an asychronous
discussion forum, resources, and an archive.
You will receive login instructions after you have
registered. Participants should sign-in 15 minutes
early for tech instructions and to meet others in the group;
they also have the option of remaining online for a
half-hour follow-up discussion immediately after the
workshop.
