Information Literacy Action Plan 2009-2014

In 2009, the Weinberg Memorial Library created an Action Plan designed to develop the Information Literacy Program with the goal of moving toward more direct outcomes-based assessment of student learning. The Action Plan—developed, implemented, and completed between 2009 and 2014—assesses outcomes related to the way the Information Literacy Program does its work to support student learning at the University. Reports for each Action Plan Outcome are linked in the Assessment column below.
