Avery (director, library services, Western State College of Colorado) presents material on tools librarians need to create baseline data that will support the merits of information literacy programs in their institutions. Methods and skills that have been used to carry out effective assessment programs are illustrated, demonstrating how to decide what is to be learned from the program, establish learning outcomes, analyze data, estimate costs, and involve faculty. Numerous example assessment and evaluation forms and rubrics are included. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
