Information Literacy AssessmentStudent Learning OutcomesLibrarians are available to help departments and individual faculty members incorporate information literacy learning outcomes into departmental curriculum or individual courses. Please contact your librarian liaison or the Information Literacy Librarian for more information.
Accrediting AgenciesMany university- and program-level accrediting agencies have made information literacy a priority. For example, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) states: “Baccalaureate programs engage students in an integrated course of study of sufficient breadth and depth to prepare them for work, citizenship, and a fulfilling life. These programs also ensure the development of core learning abilities and competencies including, but not limited to, college-level written and oral communication; college-level quantitative skills; information literacy; and the habit of critical analysis of data and argument” (WASC Handbook of Accreditation).
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and ETSIn collaboration with the Educational Testing Service (ETS), the CSU system and other universities have developed a large-scale, web-based, problem-based assessment tool for information and communication technology. This simulation-based testing program measures students' abilities to define, access, manage, integrate, evaluate, create and communicate information in a technological environment. The ICT Literacy Assessment is now available for use via ETS.
