This book gives librarians the tools needed to create baseline data that will support the merits of information literacy programs in their institutions. Methods and skills that have been used to carry out effective assessment programs are illustrated including deciding what is to be learned from the program, establishing learning outcomes, data analysis, consideration of costs, and involvement of faculty.
