Abstract
Libraries can demonstrate value through evaluation and assessment. This study describes the development and piloting of a hybrid evaluation and assessment instrument in a Freshman Composition course at the University of South Dakota. Data analysis, reflection, and revision of the evaluation/assessment tool and process are discussed. The University Libraries are implementing scalable formative assessment and evaluation of library instruction using the Information Literacy Instruction Assessment Cycle and simple cost-effective delivery methods that allow quick and efficient collection and analysis of data in a variety of instructional settings.
