Information literacy assessment

The teaching of information technology skills are being integrated into the higher education curriculum with the aid of the American Library Association and the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL). Neely (Zimmerman Library, U. of New Mexico) and other information literacy experts explain the ACRL standards and their technological, social, ethical, and legal contexts. They present adaptable best practices and student outcome assessments--including tips on automating them-- from institutions in the US, Canada, and Australia. Information literacy survey instruments are appended.
