This report resulted from the Thun Library and the Penn State Berks Composition Program's collaboration to assess the institution’s first-year composition (FYC) course. From previous programmatic assessments oftheir students’work, the faculty knew that students struggled with source use in their rhetoric but found it difficult to pinpoint students’exact source issues. By adapting a rubric theoreticallygrounded in the ACRL Framework to deconstruct the concept of source use into four categories, librarians developed a rubric that illuminated source engagement problems on amore granular level than the programmatic assessments conducted without librarian involvement, leading to specific suggestions for addressing issues with student source engagement.  \nKeywords: information literacy, first-year composition, assessment, rubrics, collaboration, source engagement  \nResearch Articles edited by Christopher V.
