Description:
Recognizing a shared need to make evidence-based decisions about their information literacy programs, four post-secondary institutions of similar scope and size have designed a multi-phased, collaborative research project to investigate the information literacy (IL) skills of their students. This poster will highlight aspects of the collaboration that has resulted in a sustainable, cost-effective and adaptable information literacy assessment tool, and present initial findings on the nature of information literacy learning and teaching at our institutions.

Description:
The University of Chicago Library created Library Boot Camp, a flexible and fast-paced undergraduate orientation program. Inspired by speed dating, the program offers five “information stations” where students learn about key library services and resources. Every eight minutes, our librarian “drill sergeant” blows a whistle, directing students to the next station. Feedback about program has been overwhelmingly positive, and the program has increased student attendance and engagement.
