Kaufman Library is dedicated to supporting information literacy across the curriculum here at GGC. If your course includes any type of research assignment, we would be happy to work with faculty on the assessment of information literacy skills through your assignments. Please utilize the resources shared on this page, and contact our Assessment Librarian, Jillian Collier, at jcollier4@ggc.edu if you have any questions or would like to work with us!
These are the rubrics that we use to assess student essays and annotated bibliographies. The library has collaborated with faculty who are willing to share students' papers for us to assess. We are so grateful to faculty who have done this so that we can see how library instruction skills are showing up in students' final products. If you are interested, please let me know via email at jcollier4@ggc.edu, so we can work together on aligning information literacy assessment! Also, feel free to use these rubrics or any of the resources listed on this page in your own assessment for your courses.
This open online textbook was edited and authored primarily by librarians at SUNY Albany's Information Literacy department. Each chapter, linked below, covers a concept related to information literacy and includes an activity that can be used to assess student's learning.
"The Information Literacy User’s Guide is based on two current models in information literacy: The 2011 version of The Seven Pillars Model, developed by the Society of College, National and University Libraries in the United Kingdom and the conception of information literacy as a metaliteracy, a model developed by one of this book’s authors in conjunction with Thomas Mackey, Vice Provost for Academic Programs at SUNY Empire State College. These core foundations ensure that the material will be relevant to today’s students." - from About this Textbook
