Summary:

Harada and Yoshina (2006) make a strong case for using assessments in the library, provide examples of assessment tools, including checklists and rubrics, and describe how to use assessment results to inform instruction.

Evaluation:

Assessment of student learning in the library is an area of interest since it seems to be lacking in my library program as well as those of my colleagues. The tips provided are practical and helpful, especially the notion of starting small.
