Publisher's Description
Classroom Assessment Techniques for Librarians provides the tools
librarians need to quickly and meaningfully assess student knowledge in
the classroom. The authors, Melissa Bowles-Terry and Cassandra Kvenild,
share 24 tried and true assessment tools, along with library-specific
examples, to help librarians assess students’ ability to recall,
analyze, and apply new knowledge. The assessment tools in this book
actively engage students by asking them to think, write, and reflect.
Librarians can use results of these assessments as a starting point to
define and measure information literacy learning outcomes as well as to
improve their teaching skills and instructional design. This collection
of assessment techniques can be adapted to multiple learning
environments, including traditional one-shot library instruction, online
instruction, and for-credit courses. This book is essential for
academic libraries, and will prove useful to school libraries with
strong information literacy programs, as well as library and information
school collections.
