during library instruction sessions and graded, course-embedded assignments. The site also details several assessment
projects underway in the current year including: An initiative to map learning outcomes related to information literacy
to a pilot group of curricula across campus Development of a wiki to disseminate tools and best practices for the
direct assessments of information literacy in the library instruction classroom and As a focus on student learning
outcomes continues to permeate academic library culture, new tools and models for measuring libraries’ impact on
student learning are being developed. Together with the quantitative and qualitative measures already in place to
measure the effectiveness of library services, outcomes measures will help to develop a more complete picture of
libraries’ overall impact on students learning. In the coming year, the UW Libraries plan to: 1. Collaborate with our
campus partners to develop information literacy assessments in concert with broader teaching and learning goals
and campus priorities. 2. Look for ways to expand assessments of the ways library spaces, collections, and services
contribute to student learning outcomes. 3. Integrate outcomes assessment measures into new projects (e.g. planning
for innovative learning spaces improvements to our web-based services and tools).
Have not studied correlation
We do not currently have written plans to study this correlation although it is of some interest.
We have done elements of these measures (observation of student behavior, evaluation of student assignments,
student/faculty feedback) for individual courses and products (online tutorials), but not as a systematic study at the
program level.
We have plans to study student and faculty feedback on all library sessions taught by the Undergraduate Library, but we
do not have plans to gather personally identifiable data.
If your library has conducted more than one study of this correlation, please pick one study that
you think is most significant and describe it through answering the following questions.
If your library plans to study this correlation, please answer as many of the following questions as
possible at this time.
If you answered “No” above, please skip to the Users’ Research Output section of the survey.
