In 2009, the University of Chicago Library embarked on a pilot program to integrate library instruction into the Department of History's thesis seminar. As part of the pilot, the Library developed a brief assessment consisting of a pre- and post test of student library research skills. Over the next several months, we tested different versions of the assessment to develop a quick and easy form that could be used in most of our library instruction programs (especially for BA and MA seminars). By encouraging our librarians to use a common assessment tool, we hope to gain a broader picture of library research skills at the University.
