twenty question pre-test was administered before information fluency was introduced in classby librarians. This pre-test served as a baseline for the knowledge the students brought to thecourse. 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.

This number represents about 7% of theLibGuides that initially had the criteria for selection. The random process of selection in datacollection can provide a realistic representation of the total population and is a method normallyused in data collection14; this tool is used for data collection specifically when the contentanalysis has the potential of producing a staggering amount of data.
