ASSESSING OUR IMPACT: MAKING THE TRANSFORMATION TO ASSESSMENT
Looking to make the move to assessment of your information literacy program?
This workshop will focus on an introduction to assessment, and provide teams of
librarians the opportunity to transform a document or definition from their
information literacy program into an assessment format.
Topics Covered:
INTRODUCTION TO ASSESSMENT
The basics of assessment will be introduced, including what assessment is, how
it can assist us in planning and evaluating, the theories and importance of this
initiative. How can assessment help us determine what we are doing well and what
we need to improve or change?
TRANSFORMING TO OUTCOMES
Teams from the same library will transform an existing document from their own
institution into an outcomes format. Teams can choose from their current
definition of information literacy, a commonly taught 50-minute session, an
information literacy course, or other meaningful document. Through a guided
workshop format, we'll create something new that is relevant to your current
work. Do you work alone on instruction? No problem. We'll pair you with someone
else in the same situation. The important component is that you will have the
opportunity to work on a document that is relevant to your own setting.
PROGRAM ASSESSMENT
We'll examine as a group what makes a strong instruction program. Teams will
then look to write program outcomes and assessment measures for determining
instruction program effectiveness on their campuses.
Debra Gilchrist is Director of Library/Media Services for Pierce College, a
