A modified AAC&U VALUE rubric was applied to 154 student research papers collected in fall 2015 and fall  \n2016. Study results indicate that students in the sample were able to find relevant and appropriate sources for their research papers; however, they were not using evidence to effectively support an argument or attributing sources correctly. The authors discuss changes to the library instruction curriculum informed by the assessment results.  \nKeywords: information literacy, first-year students, rubric assessment, library instruction, one-shot  \nMarkowski, B., McCartin, L.F., & Evers, S.
