TRAILS is a freely available, Web-based tool to measure the information literacy skills of students in K-12. Assessments are standards-based and available at 6th and 9th grade levels, with 3rd and 12th grade coming in Fall 2010. After registering, librarians are able to create and administer a session. Following administration of the assessment, reports are immediately available at both student and class levels. TRAILS provides a means to diagnose student weaknesses and target instruction, as well as offer opportunities for teacher collaboration.
Overview of a hospital library health literacy outreach program
Through the ILE project, librarians and course instructors collaborate to design an additional component of an existing research project that directly addresses the information literacy elements required to complete the project. For each course, an online page is crafted and divided into components mapped to the standards of information literacy. The page features objectives for each standard, a customizable series of online tutorials, and multiple ways to assess the student's ability to learn and transfer the knowledge into a contextualized application. Further, instructors are given the tools to provide feedback on each assessed component thus addressing demonstrated weak areas of student understanding. Through the ILE project, students learn how to better define a research question or thesis, access scholarly information in a variety of formats, critically evaluate information quality, ethically and legally use information to accomplish a specific purpose, and produce better final products.
These pages illustrate the steps for finding information. They offer tips along the way to make the process less painful as well as productive. In addition, they gather the most frequently used online resources available from the OSU library and provide direction and guidelines for their efficient and effective use.

The Southern Oregon University Hannon Library's Information Literacy and Instruction Program serves students, faculty, and staff by supporting the instructional mission of the Library and the University. Our mission is to teach students to think critically and use information for their academic, professional, and personal lives--helping them define information needs, then locate, evaluate, and use all available information resources effectively and responsibly. We are committed to anticipating and embracing changes in the information and instructional environment, and collaborating with the academic community to foster a shared sense of enjoyment and empowerment in the pursuit of lifelong, self-directed learning.

During this study you will also: -Develop, explore and refine a research topic of your choosing -Compile a Research Portfolio documenting your work on a research question approved by your mentor, and -Complete and submit a final research project -- annotated bibliography, a research paper, or other assignment agreed upon between you and your mentor. Upon completion of this study, you will have developed information literacy skills to use for lifelong learning. You will understand how information is gathered and stored (both physically and digitally) into libraries, how librarians organize and retrieve that information, and how you can extract and evaluate relevant information to use in a variety of areas. Through interacting with a variety of library resources, online research databases, and Internet search tools you will develop practical information handling skills that you can use to prepare term papers and other academic projects like debates, speeches, or visual displays.

Each ULS tutorial introduces and teaches an information seeking concept or skill. Interactive quizzes within the tutorials allow the viewer to apply and reinforce this new skill, and allow instructors the opportunity to use the tutorial as a graded exercise or assignment. The tutorials can be linked into CourseWeb individually, or be directly accessed by URL via the Web. Future tutorial development might include creating tutorials for professional schools and specific disciplines, modified to reflect professional standards or competencies.
