Information literacy assessment applies to a number of contexts in the higher education arena: institutional curricula, information literacy programmes, information literacy courses, course-integrated information literacy instruction, and stand-alone information literacy workshops and online tutorials. This practical guide provides an overview of the assessment process: planning; selection and development of tools; and analysis and reporting of data. An assessment decision chart helps readers match appropriate assessment tools and strategies with learning outcomes and instructional settings. Assessment tools, organised by type, are accompanied by case studies. Information literacy standards are referenced, with emphasis given to the Association of College and Research Libraries' Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education.
