Please excuse cross-posting of this message: 6th grade level assessment now available from TRAILS (Tool for Real-Time Assessment of Information Literacy Skills) The TRAILS Project Team is pleased to announce that information literacy assessments based on 6th grade standards are now available for your use. Two parallel assessments of 25 items each address the five TRAILS information literacy categories. These have been incorporated into the TRAILS site which offers similar assessments based on 9th grade standards. TRAILS is freely available on the Web at http://www.trails-9.org. Library media specialists serving as consultants to the TRAILS-6 project wrote the items. Our thanks to them and their colleagues in over 100 schools nationwide who had their students test the items for us this past fall. The data from those nearly 7,500 students were used to further refine the items. TRAILS is a project of the Institute for Library and Information Literacy Education (ILILE <http://ilile.org/> ) at Kent State University and has been sponsored by grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the U.S. Department of Education.
