an assessment tool designed to investigate the information literacy skills of first and second-year post-secondary students.

A growing focus on assessment in post-secondary environments has prompted libraries to consider the effectiveness of their information literacy programs and the impact they have on student learning. To that end, the ILAAP group came together in 2011 to form an information literacy assessment working group.

Project SAILS® began in 2001 at Kent State University with the goal of developing a standardized test of information literacy skills that would allow libraries to document skill levels for groups of students and to pinpoint areas for improvement.

a powerful tool to add to your assessment program. It will facilitate conversations on your campus and throughout the profession about what information literacy means to students today and into the future.

Inspired by the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, TATIL provides librarians and other educators evidence to better understand the information literacy capabilities of their students.
