Dear Colleagues,
Project SAILS (Standardized Assessment of Information Literacy Skills) is launching the beta test of an international version of the SAILS cohort assessment.
We are very excited to reach this stage. Working with librarians from various countries, we have made extensive revisions to the assessment so as to meet the needs of an international audience. In order to determine if the new test is valid, we are seeking testing institutions in countries outside the United States. If you or someone you know is interested, please go to this web page for details:
http://beta.projectsails.org/betatest
There is no cost to participate. If you have at least 50 students take the test, you will receive a report about their performance as a group.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
With warm regards,
Carolyn
