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.
