[LM_NET] HIT: MS: library skills evaluation

[Deborah Mahan <Deborah.Mahan@MAIL.WILSON.K12.NC.US>]

Here are the responses I received.  Thanks to everyone for their help.

A couple of years ago, I developed a survey that asked students to
analyze questions and select the appropriate answer.  It allows me to
analyze their question analysis skills, ability to identify the main
idea, and their knowledge of different resources.  If you want to look
at it, go to

 I hope this helps.

Hi Deborah.  I'm a new middle school library media specialist teaching
a
research and library skills class for the first time this semester. 
I'm
attaching the mid-semester exam that I gave my students a few weeks
ago.
I'm going to use a lot of these questions for a pre-test next semester
so I can gauge what my new group already knows before I start lessons!
The call number multiple choice question is blank in the Word document
because I drew in several call number options.  I hope this test
helps.

helps.

I used to use something that looked like a test but I felt the kids
were too overwhelmed by it so I play a game with them instead.   It's
almost like Hollywood squares.
