Mary Jackson, Milligan College Virginia Moreland, Lenoir-Rhyne College ACA Summit, October 16, 2008 Using the RRSA to Assess Information Literacy

Why Milligan was looking for an IL assessment Determine the skill levels and design appropriate instruction for different skills levels. Creating a good assessment is hard work Do we need to reinvent the wheel? Corollary: Can our experience contribute to a larger body of research?

Development of the RRSA Central Michigan University librarians perceive IL skills of students as WEAK Students self-assess skills as STRONG Librarians schedule IL sessions to improve skills Students don’t pay attention and continue to use poor IL skills

Relevant Literature Gross, Melissa, and Don Latham. “Attaining information literacy: An investigation of the relationship between skill level, self-estimates of skill, and library anxiety.” Library & Information Science Research 19 (2007): Ivanitskaya, Lana, R.
