Information Literacy Program Assessment

Commentary on the 2020-21 Library Information Literacy Program

The SC4 library IL program is based on the following guidelines, both of which are closely related:  

• Association of College & Research Libraries Information Literacy Framework
• SC4 Information Literacy General Education Competency Outcomes.

• Gen. Ed. IL Outcome 1. Demonstrate technological competence to obtain information from data.
• Gen. Ed. IL Outcome 2. Demonstrate how and where to search for reliable information. (ebook, peer reviewed article, & finding a report in CQ Researcher questions (Fall 2020) or Gale Literature Resource Center (Winter 2021))
• Gen. Ed. IL Outcome 3. Demonstrate how to form conclusions based on reliable information. (Evaluation question 2)

Because of Covid 19 restrictions in the library building, the ENG 101 IL program was available remotely in multiple ways.

• Completely online through a library guide (Libguide) created for their class (e.g., Prof. Hilton). Instructors can email this link with our directions to students or post on Canvas.
• Completely online through a Canvas module librarians created for the instructor and uploaded to Canvas Commons (e.g. Prof. Plachta whose module is built on Libguide ).
• Combination of online (asynchronous) and through Teams (synchronous) (e.g. Prof. Syeda Ferguson)

All ENG 101 IL program versions cover the same information, but some have additions or slight modifications based on the ENG 101 instructor’s request.

The IL assignment for all link to library software. Librarians receive completed assignments electronically, grade and email back to students with feedback, and, after due date, send Excel file with scores to each instructor. ENG 101 instructors provide librarians with due dates.

Observations

Surprisingly, this year provided a period of growth and positive changes for the information literacy (IL) program. Reference services were well positioned to move to all online teaching and learning. The library has provided chat reference help for about 15 years, so moving to an all chat/email/Teams format was seamless. There was an established online ENG 101 IL program and library assignment for years. Creating the program for the newly remote sections was time consuming but provided a chance to revamp the program. Most of the ENG 101 sections were presented asynchronously, but at least seven ENG 101 sections were taught both remotely through Teams and online.

The number of students participating in the ENG 101 program and completing the assignment matched previous years: 534 in 2020-21 (517 in 2019-20 and 528 in 2018-19).

Although there were IL programs for other courses such as ENG 102, pursuant to faculty requests, librarians created online programs and assignments for other disciplines such as Nursing and History (Summer 2021). Grading the online assignments was time consuming but rewarding. Some of the questions require short essay answers which give us insight into students’ thought processes when evaluating sources for authority.

IL Program Statistics

English 101

Using the online information literacy program on library software or Canvas, over 530 English 101 students completed and passed the information literacy program and graded library assignment, a slight increase from 2019-20 despite an overall drop in enrollment.

• 534 students complete library IL program & assignment with a passing score.
  • 441 students completed the entire program online (asynchronously).
  • 93 students completed the program through Microsoft Teams (synchronously) and completed and passed the library IL assignment online using library software.

English 102

The newly created ENG 102 assignment was written in Winter 2021 pursuant to an instructor’s request for an IL library assignment. In the past, the library had an IL program for ENG 102 students but never had a graded library assignment.

• 14 students completed and passed the library IL assignment.

History 101 (for Summer 2021)

Pursuant to an instructor’s request, an online History 101 information literacy program and graded library assignment for Summer and Fall 2021

• 22 students participated in the Summer I History 101 library information literacy program and passed the assignment.

ADN Nursing

The ADN nursing IL program was also converted to an online format in Fall 2020. 

• Over 60 ADN students completed and passed the Fall 2020 online library information literacy program and graded assignment. 

Did students meet our outcomes?

Nearly all of the students participating in the ENG 101 library IL program met the Information Literacy General Education Competency Outcomes. The majority of incorrect answers were on one of the three Boolean operator questions and on identifying the title of a journal when given an MLA citation. 

As expected, Nursing students performed even better on their library IL program assignment. Most nursing students had already completed an ENG 101 library information literacy program in preparation for entrance to nursing. 

Nearly all of the History 101 students scored well on the library IL assignment. It is unknown how many attended a previous library IL program.

• Navigating the homepage because it was super easy and already obvious on how to work it.
• Navigating because it was kind of self explanatory.
• Some of the search box slides like where it was located at, seemed a bit unneeded since its pretty easy to see or if you just look at the site and explore it yourself.
• I'm not sure there was one, I think everyone should know how to use this
• The test at the end. I don't think it should be graded and affect our grades by 50 points if we get things wrong. It's disappointing that an assignment like this could affect our grades greatly when in realty this should just be a orientation that we take and is not a 50 point assignment. An assignment like this could make or break someone passing the class or not. It's not needed whatsoever.
