What do we know about the impact, relevance or quality of our

different perspectives on how information skills training can be evaluated.
The speakers are:

De Montfort University undergraduates. In 2000 and 2001, this has included a
questionnaire on information skills.

assessment at De Montfort
* Linda Norbury on her experiences of peer observation of teaching
* Alan Rosling, Chris Powis and Heather McBryde-Wilding reporting on a
project assessing the impact of information skills training on first year
social science undergraduates at University College Northampton
The afternoon will be a workshop on performance measurement of
information skills education organised by Hilary Johnson on behalf of the
SCONUL Task Force on Information Skills and SCONUL Advisory Committee on
Performance Indicators
