This article, also in response to a search for help measuring student research skills, proved to be more current -- and a quicker read =) than the subject of the immediately previous post. I also found it to be more practical.
"Library instruction pilot improves research skills"
Posted on September 12, 2011 by Rebecca Starkey, Librarian for College Instruction and Outreach
Starkey reported on a pilot that measured the effectiveness of a pilot program integrating library search skills within specific courses at UC. Of value to my needs was a list of specific skills for which the program provided significant help:
- Finding Articles from Citations
- Identifying Materials at Other Libraries
- Indexes vs. JSTOR
While the program was specific to the post-secondary environment, I believe I could modify specifics to create a simple rubric for high school work.
