Abstract
Using a pre‐test and post‐test, all students enrolled in LIS 1600, Information Resources were evaluated on their library research skills. The purpose was to determine the improvement in test score on completion of the course. A newly revised university studies course was taught the first time in fall of 1996 and spring of 1997. Library Services faculty aimed to assess the effort to impart information literacy skills to freshmen students. Results of the study are reported.
