A report from an ACRL 2003 roundtable discussion on the role librarians can play in using NSSE data.

Discusses the importance of information literacy for student engagement and how the NSSE is an excellent diagnostic fit with the Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education because learning outcomes can be correlated with student engagement. (From: College & Research Libraries, Nov. 2003, Vol. 64 Issue 6, p 480-493. A. Mark, P. Boruff-Jones, authors.)

Describes the library use & information literacy behaviors included on standardized college student surveys of engagement and experiences, particularly information literacy-related experimental items developed by ACRL on the 2006 NSSE College Student Report. Discusses implications. (From: New Directions for Teaching and Learning, Summer2008, Vol. 2008 Issue 114, p101-114. Bonnie Gratch-Lindauer, author).

ALA Annual Conference 2012 presentation regarding the development of an information literacy module for the NSSE. The NSSE Information Literacy Working Group will review the recommendations and suggestions received during the presentation and finalize the draft survey questions over the next couple of months. A beta test of the information literacy module is planned for this winter and it will be added to the list of modules the following year, provided the test is successful.
