The Hammermill and Ridge Libraries seek to provide effective and adequate assessment for each information literacy instruction session taught. Each class is asked to fill out an assessment/evaluation form either in print or electronically in order to measure learning outcomes from each session and ensure accountability and quality.

Assessment is essential for the following reasons:

• Monitor effectiveness for accountability
• Better identify instructional practices
• Evaluate the effectiveness of instructional practices
• Measure student achievement: how much they know
• Evaluate students' mastery of skills: What they can do.
