This applies no less to information literacy outcomes, which have been adopted by many colleges and universities around the world. This article describes the experience of a university library in Hong Kong in administering a standardized test of information literacy - the Research Readiness Self-Assessment (RRSA) - at the institutional level to satisfy the need for evidence of learning. Compelling evidence was found of improvement in student information literacy ability over the course of their studies.  \nChan, Institutional Assessment of Student IL Ability Communications in Information Literacy 10(1), 2016  \nINTRODUCTION  \nInformation literacy is widely recognized asa crucial competency that is necessary for success in education and in lifelong learning, to the extent that it is frequently included as an expected learning outcome at postsecondary institutions and is increasingly being incorporated into institutional mission statements (Weiner, 2014, p. 5) . Coupled with the rising demand for accountability among stakeholders in higher education, significant attention has been paid to the assessment of information literacy. At Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) Library, a concerted effort has been made over the past several years toadminister a standardized test of information literacy at the institutional level. This paper describes how HKBU Library has administered information literacy assessments on a large scale and provides analysis of the data collected so far. It will also critically reflect on the approach taken and discuss possible future developments.  \nLITERATURE REVIEW  \nWidespread interest in the assessment of learning outcomes in higher education has been global trend in recent years. According to Douglass, Thomson, and Zhao (2012, p. 318), stakeholders increasingly see such assessment efforts “as a method to measure the value added, and to a large extent the quality and effectiveness, of colleges and universities.” The essential premise is that institutions can use learning outcomes data to identify areas for improvement, and take appropriate measures to make such improvements a reality. Such data has also been used for accreditation and accountability (Liu, Bridgeman, & Adler,  \n2012) . It should be noted, however, that the adoption of learning outcomes assessment has not been without challenges. Liu (2011, pp. 5-7) summarized some key concerns, including the fact that there is insufficient evidence of whether scores on outcomes tests actually predict student success after graduation. Nevertheless, outcomes assessment is now entrenched at many institutions, and there is strong demand for standardized tests that can produce evidence of student learning that is comparable between institutions.  \nThis emphasis on the assessment of student learning outcomes has had an impact on academic libraries, particularly in the way they assess their teaching of information literacy. Oakleaf (2008, p. 233) noted that libraries formerly relied heavily on input, output, and process measures to provide evidence of excellence. For information literacy efforts, such indicators may have included the number of teaching librarians, the total number of classes taught by librarians, total attendance, etc. However, inan environment where outcomes-based measurement is heavily stressed, stakeholders are more concerned about what students have actually learned and what they are able to do following instruction. Accountability is especially crucial where information literacy has been integrated into the curriculum, and librarians need reliable and valid data on student learning outcomesin such cases (Cameron, Wise, & Lottridge,","cbCaiiVPyTIYIO4a","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiVPyTIYIO4a","pdf",474325,12,"English","# Introduction\n# Literature Review\n## Standardized testing and its trade-offs\n## Evidence-based librarianship and “culture of assessment”","[{\"question\":\"What standardized tool does the library use to assess information literacy institutionally?\",\"answer\":\"The Hong Kong Baptist University Library administers the Research Readiness Self-Assessment (RRSA) as a standardized information literacy test at the institutional level.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the article say about student information literacy results over time?\",\"answer\":\"Compelling evidence shows improvement in students’ information literacy ability throughout the course of their studies.\"},{\"question\":\"Why do the authors consider standardized multiple-choice tests in an institutional context?\",\"answer\":\"They can be easy and inexpensive to score, collect data quickly, and support comparisons, making them potentially the only feasible means for institutional-level assessment despite limits on higher-level thinking.\"}]","INSTITUTIONAL ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT INFORMATION LITERACY ABILITY - Volume 10 - Issue 1 - 2016 | PDF",1792087658]
