Assessment Options We Explored
• Most costly (min. $35/test)• Requires a proctor• Difficult to ensure seniors' participation
• Too costly (extra fee for results summary)• Requires a proctor• Time consuming (75 minute test)• Difficult to ensure seniors' participation
• Questions too rigid (some scenarios not relevant and/or applicable to our library)
• Inability to customize results • Difficult to ensure seniors' participation

What is the Senior Project?
• Purchase's capstone research project• Graduation requirement for all seniors• Culmination of 4 years of liberal arts
education• Takes many forms: original research
thesis, performance, poetry, film, art show, choreography, etc.
• Housed in print & digital formats in library archives

![Page 6: Putting Assessment in its Place Creating and Implementing a Campus-Wide Information Literacy Rubric Kimberly.Detterbeck@purchase.edu Darcy.Gervasio@purchase.edu](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062713/56649cf15503460f949c0d73/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Matching SPILSA Rubric to Institutional Assessment Goals
• Won Purchase Assessment Award, 2012• Associate Provost suggested enlarging
the scope• Administration asked us to align rubric
with SUNY Student Learning Outcomes for "basic communication, critical thinking, and information management."

Senior Project Information Literacy Skills Assessment Rubric - Round 2
• We culled the SUNY SLOs for items that fit information literacy and the ACRL Info. Lit. Competencies
• We standardized the language and revised our rubric to align it with institutional assessment goals
• We added a 4th level, "Exceeding Expectations" to our rubric to reflect SUNY SLOs.

ACRL Performance Indicator and Outcome:
SUNY Learning Outcome:
1. The information literate student defines and articulates the need for information...
b. Develops a thesis statement and formulates questions based on the information need
1. Students will produce coherent texts within common college level forms...
"Writer presents an easily identifiable and focused controlling purpose or thesis."
ACRL Standards meet SUNY SLOs

Next Steps
o Find faculty collaborator knowledgeable about norming, calculating a random sample, statistics
o Hold "norming session" for training...and actually test assessment on a proper sample
o Host a "scoring party" to assesso Review process challengeso Long term goal: longitudinal assessment
over 4-years applying SPILSA rubric to College Writing to compare IL skills of freshmen with seniors

Advice & Best Practices
You can do it too! Here's how!
o Small but meaningful segments of student populationo Scale it up later o Use what you've got! Access will be one of the largest obstacles,
so assess research products, populations, assignments you already have easy access to
o You don't need to be an assessment “guru.” (Use local talents and skills)
o Focus on assessments that will provide data & results specific enough to actually be useful for improving instruction
