Columbia University Libraries Assessment Forum: "Assessing the Assessment: How institutions administered, interpreted, and used SAILS" (Dec. 8, 2010)

The Columbia University Libraries Assessment Working Group is pleased to announce our next Assessment Forum "Assessing the Assessment: How institutions administered, interpreted, and used SAILS" with special guests Brian Lym, Hal Grossman, and Lauren Yannotta from Hunter College Libraries, CUNY.

The speakers will present their recently published paper, Assessing the Assessment: How Institutions Administered, Interpreted, and Used SAILS, (Reference Services Review, Vol. 38 Iss: 1, pp.168 – 186) which addresses the administration of SAILS (Standardized Assessment of Information Literacy Skills), a widely-used test developed by Kent State University. SAILS has been administered at colleges and universities to benchmark student information literacy skills. Highlights include analysis of institutions’ use of SAILS report data, and respondent perceptions of the utility of SAILS.
