The beginning of my journey into creating an assessment

Back in January, a new psychology instructor stopped by the library. He was coming to our college after 20 years in the private field. He remembered the library from his college days being paper indexes, file cards and microfilm, but was also aware that things had changed tremendously since he was last in school. To him, a simple tour should “catch him up” on all the changes that had occurred. He actually ended up spending almost 45 minutes talking with me and our Reference/Instruction librarian. And even then, I do not believe he is actually “caught up”. This is the impetus for my capstone project. I want to do a needs-assessment to determine the level of information literacy skills of faculty. I want to know their awareness of library services and resources. The data and information from this assessment will help my library market the library to faculty and allow for certain educational programs to be designed that specifically address the needs of faculty. Right now, I am conducting my literature review. There are assessments on the information literacy skills for adult students but nothing for faculty as of yet. I am still looking. At my college, we have a Faculty Staff Resource Center. This office is in the same division as the library so it's very easy for me to ask the director how his center determines what classes to offer. If he does any kind of assessments, I should be able to use some of his questions to help in mine.
