University of Regina Library Long-term Information Literacy Instruction Assessment
 Gillian van der Ven
Early results from our longitudinal survey study illustrate the positive effect library instruction has on graduate students' ability to retain and develop information literacy skills, thus influencing how the library offers information literacy instruction. Research tool is Qualtics and the data analysis tool is NVivo. Markers for assessment will include using the ACRL 2016 Information Literacy Framework, upon which students’ knowledge will be compared. Preliminary data shows that students have a better understanding of copyright, differences between peer-review and trade journal literature, and listing criteria to evaluate information.

On-line Andragogy: Designing information literacy for a faculty certificate program
Diane Zerr and Tasha Maddison
Librarians at Saskatchewan Polytechnic developed an online information literacy module, created through interdepartmental collaboration, to be completed by new faculty as part of the Adult Teaching and Learning program. Changes to the academic model coupled with mandatory assessment of program development necessitated a major revision of the introductory course, transitioning to a blended learning methodology. The library was asked to create an online module to replace some of the content that was formerly offered in face-to-face sessions.
