Last week I attended the SOLINET Annual Membership Meeting (SAMM). Here are a few items you might find interesting.
James Madison University Libraries has created (with their institutional assessment department) the Information-Seeking Skills Test (ISST), a formal information literacy assessment that all students must pass *before they can register for sophomore classes!* About the ISST.
JMU students are encouraged to use Go for the Gold, an 8-module tutorial, to prepare for the ISST.
If you’re interested in institutional repositories, Georgia State has a fantastic Electronic Theses and Dissertations Database. Anyone can search or browse, and many of the full-text ETDs are viewable from off GSU’s campus. Georgia Tech’s SMARTech contains electronic theses and dissertations, as well as conference proceedings, newsletters, learning objects, and many more items.
Some of the SAMM conference materials are available online.
More later.
