I attended the ACRL conference in Philadelphia recently, and had the best tour guide in the world. I stayed with a fellow business librarian who lives and works in Philadelphia, and we giggled our way through Philadelphia with my colleague and co-presenter (poster session) from Oregon. In addition to attending the conference, we had some quality networking meals, did a little sight-seeing, and visited the best secondhand shopping establishments in the city.
Our poster session was the morning of April Fool’s Day. Our lovely, colorful poster was on the topic of assessment, dealing with the issue of competence vs. confidence. We shared the results of an information literacy assessment project we’d conducted, which included a question for the students to rate their own research skills. As a sidenote to our assessment project, we noticed that there was no correlation between the students’ quiz score and their skills self-assessment.
Our poster is online at slideshare.
And we have an online handout.
