As shown in Appendix B, pre- and post-test questions included different areas ofinformation fluency. At midterm, after the information fluency had been introduced to thestudents and they had participated in both an in-library workshop and an online intellectualproperty module, the students were given the post-test which was identical to the pre-test. Paststudent participation in the post-test was minimal. This fall, 90% of the students participated inthe post test since it was a required part of the midterm.

effectiveness in regards to the project’s purpose and information’s credibility. One of the librarians presented an option to use for evaluating information sources. The ABCD process was adapted from a pneumonic that was used at Harvard University Libraries. The “A” represents Authority---who provided the information and what is the affiliation of the person. “B” represents bias. Is it obvious that the creator has a specific point of view or is there an effort to represent the entire picture? Bias is not necessarily bad, but must be recognized and used properly in the project. “C” stands for how current the item is. If recent information is required on a topic, something from 1975 probably will not be adequate. Students were

. Surprisingly, 12 students alsoanswered question #4 incorrectly: “What type of publication is more research oriented?”Answers ranged from a) a magazine, b) a journal or conference proceeding, c) a newspaper, orsome combination of those three possibilities. The most typical wrong answer grouped a) and b)together, suggesting that the distinction between journals and magazines has not been madeclear. This is disappointing because it is emphasized at the first-year level, not only inengineering classes but also in many of the other university courses that are offered to first-yearstudents and have an information literacy component. However, it is useful feedback to thelibrarian to make this a more prominent part of Design I instruction in future years.In
