Assessment (HC)

Strategies in this book center on keeping the customer's point of view in focus at all times to meet students' and faculty's evolving needs.

Includes examples of library sessions devoted to information literacy, evidence based practice, and biomedical informatics. It also discusses modes of delivering information and covers examples of face to face, distance and blended learning initiatives.

The chapters in this volume assume that classroom-based assessment does not have to take away from invaluable instruction time, nor does it have to be some overwhelmingly complicated task. Formative assessments are "bite-sized" assessments that help the librarian get a snapshot of the students' level of understanding in relation to the learning target(s).

Offers academic librarians practical, and actionable, strategies for critical assessment of teaching and student learning.
