The Claremont Colleges Library Instruction Services Department developed a quiz that could be integrated into the consortial learning management software to accompany a local online, open-source information literacy tutorial. The quiz is integrated into individual course pages, allowing students to receive a grade for completion and improving faculty and student buy-in. Piloted in nine first-year classes in Fall 2012 then revised and launched in Spring 2013, the quiz has given the library valuable assessment data on first-year student information literacy skills and enhanced the ability of teaching librarians to tailor their instruction to student performance.
