Information Literacy Assessment Tools

Students identify information needs, seek out reliable resources to meet those needs, and then analyze, synthesize, evaluate, and communicate the resulting knowledge. Students:

• Find, evaluate, and select appropriate resources and information.

• Seek out diverse perspectives and points of view to better understand problems and issues, local and global, past and present.

• Manage and make sense of data from print and electronic sources, primary and secondary.

• Acquire a fundamental understanding of the ethical/legal issues surrounding the access and use of information.
