ACRL Conference, Information Literacy Assessment and More

There were countless sessions devoted to information literacy assessment at last weekend's ACRL conference. Here's an article from InsideHigherEd.com about a panel session that addressed challenges associated with effective information literacy instruction and some different IL assessment tools. There was also a poster session about "how librarians at Kent State are collaborating with the K-12 community to reduce anxiety about academic libraries and ease students' transition to college...using TRAILS."

Overall, I found the conference very inspiring. My head is full of ideas, some of which I hope to act on before the post-conference momentum is lost!
