CSU Monterey Bay conducted a campus-wide assessment of information literacy and critical thinking, using AAC&U's VALUE rubrics to score 245 samples of student work from 49 classes across the curriculum. This faculty-driven assessment was designed to establish baseline measurements for longitudinal assessment, generate ideas and momentum to improve teaching and learning in these areas, and meet CSUMB’s accreditation requirements.

Reports on the first two years of the assessment are located on the Instruction Program website.

The first outlines their attempt to authentically assess the information literacy levels of first-year and third-year students, their partnership with faculty from CI’s writing and rhetoric program in receiving a grant for this endeavor, the creation of a rubric and specialized assignment to facilitate the assessment process and the initial assessment data that came from the three-year grant period.

Their second paper focuses on the need for libraries to expand their notion of information literacy assessment, since information learning does not take place solely in the library domain. It will illustrate the need for libraries to address the difference between evaluation and assessment, since many library “assessment” models continue to disregard key parts of the assessment process.

The CSU Stanislaus Library shares its results from faculty and student surveys on library collections and services.
CSU San Marcos conducted a multi-year space usage study, about which there is an article forthcoming. They used mobile technologies and observation to track the usage of library space, which accurately captured detailed information about user behavior. For more information on this project, contact Sue Thompson at sthompsn [at] csum.edu.
Sonoma State University is currently conducting an assessment of space and facility use, with data collection continuing through Spring 2015 semester. Librarians and staff are collecting data about how people use spaces and equipment in defined areas throughout the building. The collection process is facilitated through Suma, an open-source software developed by NCSU. The software was customized with parameters for our study developed by the Web Services Librarian, Instruction Librarian, and Public Services Librarian. Results will be analyzed in the summer and hopefully published soon afterward.
