At Carrick Enterprises, we talk with librarians about their information literacy goals and their need for assessments that provide specific, immediate, and actionable results. Our customers have questions like these:
- What information literacy data can we contribute to our institution's accreditation self study?
- How can we demonstrate the value of the library to our campus administrators?
- What role do dispositions have in information literacy? How can I understand my students' information literacy dispositions and encourage them?
- At what point are students capable of critically assessing the information they encounter?
- How does student information literacy differ at lower and upper division levels?
- I want a tool that helps us know are we meeting our institutional learning outcome goals for information literacy.
- I would like to guide my students in gaining a deeper understanding of their IL strengths and weaknesses. At the beginning of our IL course, I want them to explore what information literacy is and why they need it, as well as get feedback about where they can improve.
- What can I tell my faculty colleagues about information literacy outcomes on our campus? I want to have focused conversations with them that lead to common priorities and collaborations.
